Community Testing Program

Exercise Science Metabolic Lab

The Exercise Science program offers Community Testing services conducted by faculty and graduate students in the Robert Kertzer Exercise Physiology Laboratory. Some of the fee-for-assessment evaluations include health screening, blood glucose and lipid analysis, body composition analysis, submaximal and maximal graded aerobic capacity tests, lactate threshold testing, muscle fitness and anaerobic power. A complete list of services and prices are listed below. Student, faculty/staff and group rates are available.

Tests & Fees
