NEW STUDIES:
Where applied human research & real-world fitness applications collide
From ideation to research to program design and implementation, the lab’s multi-disciplinary team strives to bridge-the-gap between laboratory research and the real-world application of health-fitness practices by leveraging Digital Health technologies.
UC Fit Digital Health has a focus on applied exercise physiology. It serves as a community hub for translational research and a clinical resource for lifestyle-wellness-fitness interventions emphasizing evidence-based practices.
Changing the world is possible. We’ve done it before.
While these collaborations have been fruitful, we are appealing for an even more robust relationship. A strategic partnership that is bidirectional; where the industry would have a residence within the university and allow synergy to our research labs, equipment, staff, and expertise, while giving UC Fit Digital Health researchers and students direct access to industry professionals, thereby building a network of knowledge that is mutually beneficial. What follows is a list of benefits of an industry-sponsored laboratory.

The Fitness Prof
UC Fit partners with PeakFit, an athletic performance training, and testing center in Sun Valley, Idaho PeakFit's exercise-health department functions as a satellite research facility and mobile site for UC Fit, conducting research at high altitude from their facility that sits 1 mile above sea level. The exercise-health department utilizes cardiopulmonary and metabolic analysis methods and equipment developed and used in the UC Fit in a commercial setting. With former AEPRL staff analyzing PeakFit, athletes and newcomers receive clinical-grade analysis paired with evidence-based training modalities. PeakFit additionally offers altitude-based training camps, cardiopulmonary analysis, and mobile testing for athletes living at altitude.
