Metabolic
Metabolic function during exercise is most often analyzed by interrogating the gas exchange occurring in the lungs of an exercising subject.
For a typical metabolic study for exercise physiology, the following variables are recorded:
- Inspired or expired air flow using a pneumotach (spirometer and flow head)
- Expired CO2 and O2 concentrations from a gas mixing chamber using a gas analyzer
- Temperature of the expired air

In conjunction with our complete system shown below, any device (i.e. ergometer, exercise bike, treadmill) with an analog output (+/- 10V) can be connected to a PowerLab data acquisition system for synchronization of event in LabChart. So you have even more flexibility and can integrate all your data streams in one place.
All of our hardware recommended for human use is backed by the appropriate safety certification standards. More information on safety standards.
