Exercise Performance and Recovery Laboratory

The Exercise Performance and Recovery Laboratory focuses on the fatiguing effects of both aerobic and resistance exercise, and the recovery from these various exercise modalities. 

Specifically, we focus on changes in functional performance following exercise, as well as the inflammatory actions that take place within the body during and after exercise.

Biological Specimen Sampling

Biological Specimen Sampling

Many of the projects completed in this laboratory are completed in conjunction with the Exercise Biochemistry and Immunology Laboratory.

A subsection of the laboratory has been dedicated to the acquisition of biological specimens.  Currently, our laboratory engages in routine sampling of blood both during and following exercise protocols.
