Exercise Metabolism Laboratory

The main feature of this laboratory is the environment al testing chamber. The chamber is a 10x12 ft sealed room equipped to control both temperature and humidity during exercise. The chamber is able to regulate temperature within +1 degree up to about 110 degrees with relative humidity from 20% to 100%. This facility allows researchers to examine physiological responses to exercise in hot and humid environments and to assess the role of hydration or other nutritional interventions on heat tolerance.
