Facilities
We enable world class research in the fields of sport, health, physical activity and exercise scienceThe Human Performance Centre has access to world-class equipment and methodologies:
- Hypoxic and environmental chambers
- Qualisys 8-camera 3D-motion analysis system and 5 Kistler platforms
- 3D accelerometry
- Footscan pressure distribution platform
- Breath-by-breath gas analysis systems
- Blood pressure, cardiac output and heart rate monitors
- Surface electromyography
- Peripheral muscle and nerve- and transcranial brain-stimulation
- Eye-tracker
- Doppler Ultrasound and Flow-Mediated Dilation
- Systems for Blood lactate; cholesterol; lipid profile; haemoglobin and haematocrit measurements
- Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
- Laser Doppler flowmetry and Imaging
- Digital bioimpedance scales
- Flow cytometry
These allow for the measurement of:
- movement kinetics and 3D kinematics
- strength, power, flexibility and balance
- speed, agility and quickness
- respiratory function (oxygen uptake and metabolism)
- peripheral and central cardiovascular function
- neuromuscular function and coordination
- central and peripheral fatigability
- visual perception and action
- brain and muscle oxygenation
- blood and muscle biochemistry
- body composition and metabolism
- inflammatory status
- cognitive performance
- team play analysis
