Human Performance Lab information and collaboration for research

The Human Performance Lab in the Ward Sports Medicine Building is a great resource to all ECU^® faculty, staff and students looking to enhance their research.

The lab’s translational research core uses top-notch equipment and assessments, made available to researchers to improve projects that benefit people on campus and in our communities. The translational research core is an ECU approved research service center, specializing in services such as cardiometabolic exercise testing, whole-body metabolism during exercise or rest, gold standard body composition analysis, infant body composition and resting metabolism, rapid blood glucose and cholesterol analysis.

The HPL website details a full list of translational research core service options, outreach services and programs, and the importance of student research opportunities.

The HPL also was recently featured by ECU News Services for the success and sustainability of the first responder assessment and physical examination program.
