The LEAP Lab offers assessments designed to evaluate physical fitness, sport performance, recovery, and wellness. Information from these services can be used to guide exercise programming, monitor progress, and provide practical feedback aligned with individual health or performance goals.
If you are interested in scheduling a LEAP Lab assessment, please email us at humanperformancelab@eou.edu.
Clients may also combine services through a customized performance or wellness package based on individual goals and needs.
Basal metabolic rate testing measures resting energy expenditure while the client breathes through a mouthpiece connected to a metabolic system without performing exercise.
These exercise assessments measure cardiorespiratory response and movement efficiency during progressively harder work on a treadmill or stationary bike while heart rate and metabolic data are monitored.
Lactate threshold testing identifies the exercise intensity at which lactate begins to accumulate more rapidly, using graded exercise and small blood samples collected at regular intervals.
Hydration status is assessed through urine specific gravity collected across consecutive mornings, providing a non-invasive picture of day-to-day hydration habits.
Sweat testing helps evaluate sweat response and hydration-related needs by collecting sweat from a small stimulated area of the forearm or through wearable sweat analysis tools used during exercise.
Heart rate variability assessment is used to monitor autonomic balance, recovery, and stress regulation, and can also support mindfulness, breath control, and biofeedback training.
Clients may check out wearable technology for 2- or 4-week periods to gather real-world data related to sleep, glucose trends, sweat response, workload, recovery, and daily wellness.
This assessment measures single-jump height and repeated jump performance to evaluate lower-body power and jump endurance.
Body composition assessment uses bioelectrical impedance to estimate lean mass and fat mass, alongside body weight measurement for general health and performance tracking.
Nutrition assessment includes an interview-based review of non-medical health and performance goals, followed by evidence-based suggestions related to health promotion, exercise, body composition, or race fueling.
This assessment tracks cortisol patterns across a 24-hour period to better understand stress regulation and identify times when recovery or stress-management strategies may be useful.
Additional quick screening options offered through the lab include hemoglobin check, blood glucose, and hand grip strength testing.
