University of Kentucky Exercise Physiology Lab

The University of Kentucky Exercise Physiology Lab studies how the body responds and adapts to physical activity. Researchers analyze factors like cardiovascular function, muscle performance, and metabolism to understand health, fitness, and disease. Using tests such as stress tests, respiratory measurements, and muscle assessments, they gather data to improve exercise programs, develop rehabilitation methods, and advance scientific knowledge about human performance. The lab's work benefits athletes, patients, and the general public by promoting safer, more effective physical activity strategies.
