Dr. Shubra Karmakar, Assistant Prof. enlightened students with the thorough knowledge of theoretical practical aspects of exercise physiology. The students actively participated in the practical demonstrations and added funds to their knowledge in:
Electromyograph (EMG) – technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles.
VO2 max – the maximum capacity of an individual’s body to transport and use oxygen during incremental exercise, which reflects the physical fitness of the individual.
The students also visited sleep research laboratory and were briefed about the basic physiology of sleep cycle by Dr. Ejaz.
