Equipment - Cardiovascular Dynamics Lab

The laboratory is equipped with the necessary material to measure numerous cardiovascular variables. 

Cardiovascular Dynamics Laboratory

The Cardiovascular Dynamics Laboratory is dedicated to understanding and disseminating data related to how the body responds to physiological stress. Specifically, to elucidate how the cardiovascular systems respond to various resistance exercise regimes and ergogenic aids in healthy populations and those with cardiovascular dysfunction.

Dr. Barkley's research training is in pediatric exercise physiology and behavioral medicine. His current research focuses on factors that affect a child's motivation to participate in physical activity. This includes examining the effects of variety, peer influence and adiposity on the decision to participate in physical or sedentary activities. He also has an interest in biostatistics and research design.

Behavioral Science Laboratory

The Behavioral Science Laboratory focuses on physical activity behavior, primarily in the pediatric population. The lab is presently equipped to perform a wide array of measures including exercise tests, anthropometric measures, and assessments of relative reinforcing (motivating) value. Nearby gymnasium space is also regularly utilized to re-create a naturalistic physical activity environment for participants.

The Ph.D. degree in Exercise Physiology prepares students for a wide variety of career options, including exercise prescription and research. The program develops the competencies needed for those who intend to teach exercise physiology, pursue research or apply exercise physiology in practice.

The M.S. in Exercise Physiology prepares students for a wide variety of career options within the field of exercise physiology, including exercise prescription and research, as well as doctoral study.
