Kinesiology Labs
Let the exploration begin
What are the biomechanics of a golf or baseball swing? What’s the connection between depression and exercise?
This is what we mean by "hands on." A suite of laboratory facilities and equipment add to your exploration of those answers as part of your experience as a kinesiology undergraduate or graduate student at University of Northern Iowa.
A Different Kind of Learning
Exploring the effects of exercise
This lab is a crucial component, serving as teaching, research, and clinical facilities. Students use advanced equipment to study how the body responds to stress and exercise.
- High performance testing
- Fitness assessment
- Metabolic measurement system
- Body composition testing
- Applied to performance testing services
- EKG
- Brain oxygenation
This lab also offers Kinesiology Performance Testing for the community.
Understanding human motion
The spacious biomechanics lab allows students to analyze all aspects of human movement from standing and walking to dynamic sports activities.
- Motion capture system (9 Vicon-cameras)
- Force plates (2 portable, 1 built-in)
- Wireless EMG (Electromyography)
- High speed cameras
- 3D printer
- Dedicated student research area
Studying sport psychology and motor learning
The psychomotor behavior lab allows students to examine how the mind and body responds to stressful sport and exercise situations.
- Eye-tracking device
- Survey tablets
- Observation rooms
- Statistical analysis
