The Lab is ideally situated in the lower level of the Arrillaga Sports and Recreation Center within the Stanford Sports Medicine Clinic.  Our location allows for close collaboration with Stanford Athletics, the Sports Medicine Clinic, Athletic Training, and the Rehabilitation Clinic.

The Human Performance Lab at Stanford University houses the latest in sports science testing technology, including: 

• VICON 8-camera three-dimensional Motion Capture System
• Alter-G treadmill for low impact walking and running
• Three floor-mounted Bertec force plates to measure ground reaction forces
• 16-channel Delsys electromyography system to estimate muscle activity
• Portable and static metabolic carts (Schiller and Cosmed) to measure oxygen consumption (VO2 Max) and lung and cardiac function
• High-speed treadmill
• Mobile 12-lead electrocardiograms (EKG)
• Holter Monitors to track cardiac function for up to 48 hours
• Mobile Spirometry system to assess lung function
• Portable ultrasound for obtaining echocardiograms and musculoskeletal assessment
• iDXA scanner for body composition and bone mineral density measures
• High-speed video cameras, capable of capturing video at 1200 frames/sec
• siliconCOACH video analysis equipment for on-field analysis of sport-specific activities
• Portable GPS equipped Heart Rate Monitors for assessing performance during on-field exercise
• Instrumented force plate treadmill (Bertec) with split belts for continued measurement of ground reaction forces during walking and running
