2 EPARC: Th Cutting Edg of Exrcis Scinc Th Exrcis and Physical Activity Rsourc Cntr (EPARC) at UCSD is a joint vntur btwn th Dpartmnt of Family and Prvntiv Mdicin, th Cntr for Wirlss and Population Halth Systms (CWPHS), and th California Institut of Tlcommunications and Information Tchnology (Calit2). EPARC maintains a fully quippd laboratory to support th rsarch community, train mdical studnts and rsidnts, and conduct comprhnsiv halth-rlatd fitnss and prformanc assssmnts for th gnral public. EPARC also srvs as an indpndnt tsting laboratory for th commrcial halth and fitnss sctor. W provid opportunitis to assss and validat nw tchnologis undr non-disclosur agrmnts, and w also offr a laboratory-loan program for R&D dpartmnts.

3 Whr Wirlss Tchnology Mts Clinical Rsarch EPARC offrs rsarchrs at UCSD and othr institutions stat-of-th-scinc srvics, tools, and rsourcs to conduct physical activity and xrcis-rlatd rsarch. W conduct any or all phass of a rsarch projct from dsign to rcruitmnt, data collction, data analysis and algorithm gnration as ncssary. Rsarchrs who study physical activity and physical function rlatd to halth and prvntion of chronic disas in populations ranging from young to old, halthy to disasd, and d conditiond to highly fit, can bnfit from our srvics. EPARC also offrs a loan program of wirlss dvics and platforms usd for masuring and intrvning on physical activity in fild-basd studis, as wll as study consultation about how bst to us ths dvics in rsarch. W loan stat-of-th-scinc acclromtrs, hart rat monitors, GPS dvics and smart phons.

4 Fitnss and Athlt Prformanc Assssmnts EPARC maintains a stat-of-th-scinc quippd laboratory for conducting halth-rlatd fitnss valuations to assss risk of chronic disas, as wll as prformanc assssmnts for athlts. Ths includ: Gradd xrcis tsts on tradmill, cycl, or hand-crank rgomtr Arobic (VO2max), anarobic, and sustainabl powr tsts Rsting nrgy xpnditur and dtrmination of daily caloric nds Bon halth and ostoporosis risk assssmnt Body composition, including rgional fat and lan mass Balanc tsts Functional movmnt assssmnts In addition to traditional laboratory tsting, w also offr fild-basd mtabolic assssmnts. With our wirlss and lightwight portabl systm, w can dtrmin caloric xpnditur in narly any ral-lif stting. EPARC staff hav xtnsiv xprinc and xprtis in conducting prformanc tsts on individuals of any ag and fitnss lvl, from th chronically d conditiond to th lit athlt.
