Utilising the advanced technologies and equipment, our laboratory and clinical trials facility has the capability to conduct high quality nutrition and exercise research studies. Our team of researchers - nutritionists, dietitians, sports dietitians and exercise physiologists - perform and facilitate a wide array of measurements including:
Anthropometry
Body composition (iDXA, bioelectrical impedance)
Oxygen consumption during exercise (VO2 max)
Fuel kinetics during exercise
Gastrointestinal assessment during exercise
Hydration status
Physiological and thermoregulatory strain
Ergometry / exercise testing including strength, power and physical function assessment
Energy expenditure (indirect calorimeter)
Facilitation of doubly labelled water and deuterium dilution protocols and data analysis for the measurement of total energy expenditure and body composition
Phlebotomy
Blood, urine, saliva, sweat, faecal and metabolite analysis for markers of chronic disease and inflammation
Dietary analysis
Flow mediated dilation
Multiplex assays
