Cardiorespiratory/Metabolic Laboratory

Our interests are within the area of oxidative stress and antioxidant therapy. In particular, the effects of acute and chronic aerobic and anaerobic exercise on macromolecule oxidation and the realtion to health and physical performance are studied. Investigations routinely include the use of antioxidant therapy and study the role of these agents to suppress oxidative tissue damage in both healthy and diseased individuals.
