Via experiential learning, these students master the concepts in respiratory physiology, cardiovascular physiology, exercise physiology and neurophysiology. The students experience the tests themselves and they perform those tests on fellow students, and learn to interpret the results. For medical students, this is also their first experience in physical examination and additional measurements, such as electrocardiography, blood pressure measurements, and lung function tests.
It is possible to use our services for exercise testing, including equipment and the skilled supervision of an (exercise) physiologist, or to learn various concepts in physiology in a practical way. Please contact the team lead for more information.
The lab is equipped with state-of-the-art set-ups for exercise physiology, clinical set-ups for lung function tests and (continuous) blood pressure measurements, and insightful setups for recording electrocardiograms. The lab is run by academic physiologists who are trained to teach at various levels, from basic physiology to high levels of specialization.
