Exercise Science Lab
The exercise science laboratory in the Roman-Gingerich Fitness Center is used during Wellness, Exercise Physiology, Motor Learning and Kinesiology (Applied Biomechanics) classes. Laboratory experiences are designed to allow students to explore questions and examine problems as they collect data, make observations, assess, analyze and evaluate. Laboratory equipment is also used by senior seminar students as they develop and conduct research projects.
