Seniors Present
Ten Exercise Science majors presented their work on 11/30/07. ExSci classes were cancelled for the day to give other ExSci students the opportunity to attend the presentations.
Carson Undergraduate Research Presentation
Brittany Thiemens (ExSci '08) presented her work "VO2 max Testing in Swimmers: Non-Sport Specific Monark Arm Crank vs. Sport-Specific VASA Ergometer" on 11/8/07. Testing maximal oxygen consumption in swimmers on sport-specific and non sport-specific machinery to determine if the sport-specific machinery produced hightest VO2 max values.
