Metabolic Cart
Used to quantify oxygen consumption and energy expenditure in subjects

Underwater or Hydrostatic Weighing System
Used to measure body composition using Archimedes' Principle, residual lung volume, and water displacement.

Cybex Isokinetic Dynamometer
Used to measure force production using a multitude of isokinetic variables in conjunction with different eccentric and concentric movements.

Electrocardiographer
Used to measure electrical changes in the heart
