WELCOME TO THE SPORT PHYSIOLOGY LABORATORY
Here at the Sport Physiology Laboratory, Division of Sport Science, Stellenbosch University, we provide scientific exercise testing fundamental to all social and competitive athletes. Although our focus lies mainly in endurance sport, we also offer testing for athletes who are involved in activities that require speed, strength and power. Furthermore, we offer health screening tests, such as blood pressure, glucose, haemoglobin, heart and lung function, and body composition (% body fat, % lean body tissue, BMI, and hydration status).
All our test protocols are standardised and internationally used in laboratories similar to ours. These tests have proven validity and reliability, and our state-of-the-art equipment is calibrated on a daily basis. Each client receives a personal report, which is also explained in detail following an exercise test. Our lab staff have postgraduate qualifications in the field of exercise physiology, are well trained, and provide services in a friendly and professional manner.
