Human Energy Research Laboratories
The Department of Kinesiology houses four exercise
physiology centers and laboratories, collectively known as the Human Energy
Research Laboratories.
 |
Center for Physical
Activity and Health (CPAH). The mission of CPAH is to study the
effect of physical activity on human health and well-being throughout
the lifespan. Our aim is to position MSU as a leader for impacting the
lives of Michigan and U.S. citizens in terms of appropriate physical
activity intervention strategies. CPAH is a collaboration of the
Departments of Kinesiology and Epidemiology.

Human Energy Research
Laboratory (HERL). HERL provides opportunities for research
projects, laboratory classes, and service projects that benefit MSU and
surrounding communities. The HERL has had a long
tradition, with great scientists such as Arthur Steinhaus, Henry Montoye,
Janet Wessel, Wayne Van Huss, and Bill Heusner performing cutting edge
research within its walls.

Biomarkers and
Genetics Laboratory (BAGL).
The primary focus of the Biomarkers and Genetics Laboratory is to gain a
better understanding of the genesis of the metabolic syndrome during
childhood and adolescence. In other words, we are interested in the
causes and consequences of obesity and the emergence of Type 2 diabetes
and vascular disease during childhood and adolescence. The long-term
goal of this research is to elucidate the mechanisms of the metabolic
syndrome through the complex interactions of genetics, environmental
factors (particularly stress, exercise, diet, and maternal factors), and
the neuro-endocrine, hormonal, metabolic, hemostatic and inflammatory
systems in the growing and maturing obese child. An
understanding of these complex interactions in the obese adolescent may
provide a better understanding of the etiology of the metabolic
syndrome, Type II diabetes and atherosclerosis and the prevention and
treatment of these clinical disorders in the obese adolescent. Click
