Physiology Lab

COCC’s Physiology Lab is a standalone fitness testing site that features advanced equipment for a range of individualized evaluations and profiles. Testing services include sport-specific V02 max, body composition, lactate analysis, and general aerobic fitness.

The lab serves a diverse clientele, from amateur athletes to professional sports competitors, and most services come with a complete one-on-one results analysis. Customizable fitness and wellness lectures — from nutrition plans to athlete-focused training programs — are available to businesses, clubs, and groups.

For students of the Exercise Science program, the Physiology Lab is an incredible learning resource. In addition to lab methods and functions that are built into the Exercise Science curriculum, students can sign up for an internship and learn alongside the staff physiologist, conducting supervised testing with real clients. It's a great opportunity for students who are planning on pursuing advanced degrees. "You're going to get lab experience and exposure to things and be way ahead of fellow classmates," says staff physiologist JT Strang.
