  1. Creating an Exercise Physiology Lab Juan Torres

  2. Problem/Solution • Problem: After obtaining a Masters in kinesiology and becoming a certified Exercise Physiologist plans to develop and open a exercise physiology lab with a limited budget in a university. • Solution: Research absolute essential equipment needed and ways to buy used equipment or lower cost of equipment.

  3. Supplies List • Parvomedics Metabolic Cart • Marquette ECG Max 1 System • Oxymon Near Infrared Tissue Spectroscopy • Body Composition Equipment • Noraxon Electromyography Equipment • LODE Excalibur Sport Bicycle Ergometer • Accutrend Blood Lactate Monitor

  4. Parvomedics Metabolic Cart • Metabolic measuring system • Stress testing • Max VO2 consumption testing • Cost: $23,000 • Buy: www.parvo.com

  5. Marquette ECG Max 1 System • Stress test EKG system • Resting ECG tests • Compatible with treadmill, bike, erg equipment, etc. • Cost: $3,000. With treadmill $5,500 • Buy: www.absolutemed.com

  6. Oxymon Near Infrared Tissue Spectroscopy • Analysis of tissue oxygen levels • Brain oxygen level testing • Skeletal muscle oxygen levels • Cost: $8,000-$10,000 • Buy: www.artinis.com

  7. Body Composition Equipment • Bodpod • Skinfold calipers • Biolectrical impedance • Will calculate body fat, muscle mass, blood flow and much more. • Buy: www.idass.com • Cost: ~$1,000

  8. Noraxon Electromyography Equipment • EMG analysis while performing body movements, such as lunges, squats, etc. • Observe muscle activity on a cellular level while exercising and performing certain movement • Buy: www.noraxon.com • Cost: $26,000

  9. LODE Excalibur Sport Bicycle Ergometer&Accutrend Blood Lactate Monitor • Attach LODE Bike Ergometer to testing machines mentioned previously to test respiratory endurance, strength, VO2 consumption and more. • Accutrend Blood Lactate Monitor reviews lactation in blod during exercise and acute training. Monitors early warning signs of diseases or problems from blood. • Cost for Both: Bicycle is ~$10,000 and the Lactate Monitor is ~$300 so $13,000 • Buy: www.medgraphics.com (bike) • www.roche.com (Lactate Monitor)

  10. Purchase Strategy • Search college sales of used or unwanted equipment • Not all equipment will be brand new right away, make sacrifice to start conducting research. • Search for non-individuals or companies selling used equipment. • Total cost about ~$95,000
