New Collection

The sensors Exercise Physiology collection is here!

We've recently released the Sensors version of the Exercise Physiology collection! This new collection is part of the physiology content pack. The latest version of the Spirometer sensor (SEN2092) is specifically recommended over the older Spirometer sensor (LTS2090) for these lessons, as they involve extended or long-term physiological data acquisition. This is because its design provides enhanced stability and accuracy over longer recording periods.

Alongside the release of the Exercise Physiology – Sensors collection, we have also renamed our collections that use Sensors, going from:
Lt Sensors Human Physiology → Human Physiology – Sensors
