| This cycle ergometer allows you to measure the power output of your muscles in watts. You can vary the resistance (load on your muscles) and pedalling rate (velocity of shortening of your muscles). A metronome helps to keep a steady rhythm. |
 |
| You can simulate the physiological effects of diving by submerging your head in a tub of water. A mask and snorkel are provided. |
 |
| A backswing or inversion table allows a relaxed subject to be tilted to a variety of positions. |
 |
| Bbbbrrrrrrrr!! If you're interested in effects of air temperature, you can spend some time in the 12 degree C walk-in coldroom near the lab or an even colder -5 degree C freezer. |
