Health and Exercise Science Laboratory
Director: Dr. Marcus Kilpatrick
The Health and Exercise Science Laboratory (HES Lab) is located within the School of Exercise Science at the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息. The HES Lab functions to measure psychological and physiological variables within the context of aerobic exercise. Research in the lab aims to better understand the exercise experience with the end goal of improving acute exercise experiences and long-term exercise adherence. The HES Lab allows for testing of aerobic capacity on cycles and treadmills using contemporary metabolic equipment.
Current Research Projects
The primary current project for the lab is an NIH-funded study investigating the effects of high-intensity interval training on exertion, mood, and enjoyment.
