Exercise and Sport Science Fund
“The Exercise and Sport Science fund supports essential laboratory and teaching equipment that enhances both research capabilities and educational experiences within the department. This fund enables the purchase and maintenance of sophisticated diagnostic and monitoring equipment including electromyography (EMG) systems for analyzing muscle activity, metabolic carts for measuring energy expenditure and cardiorespiratory function, and electrocardiogram (EKG) machines for cardiac assessment. Additionally, the fund provides for athletic training equipment used in injury prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation, as well as specialized equipment for the Physical Education Teacher Education program that helps prepare future PE teachers. These vital resources ensure students receive hands-on experience with industry-standard technology while allowing faculty to conduct cutting-edge research in exercise physiology, biomechanics, and sports medicine.”
