Environmental Physiology Laboratory

Equipment - Environmental Physiology Lab

The Environmental Physiology Lab has three unique pieces of equipment that allows us to study how environmental factors such as heat, cold and altitude influence physical performance and cognitive function.  The equipment includes a hypoxic chamber that can simulate up to 14,000 feet of elevation, a cold water immersion tank, and an environmental chamber that can be set between 20 and 105 ºF.
