Yesterday, Byrd students visited our Human Performance Lab to talk about the
amazing resources we have available to help athletes develop speed, strength, agility,
jumping, throwing velocity, and more! The resources and equipment available in the lab
are available not to just athletes but also to people in our community. Aaron had a great
conversation with them about how we can help athletes and members of different
communities push their boundaries and master the fundamentals. We also showed them
our very on motion lab where we use advanced technology to analyze and measure
human movement.

Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for athletes. Consuming enough carbohydrates can help athletes maintain their energy levels during training and competition. Good sources of carbohydrates include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes .

Adequate protein intake is important for muscle growth and repair. Athletes need more protein than sedentary individuals to support muscle recovery and growth. Good sources of protein include lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, and nuts.

Adequate hydration is essential for athletes to perform at their best and recover properly. Athletes should drink enough fluids to replace the fluids lost through sweat during exercise. Water is usually the best choice, but sports drinks can be helpful for athletes who exercise for long periods or in hot environments.

Athletes need a variety of vitamins and minerals to support their overall health and performance. Eating a balanced diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help athletes get the nutrients they need. Remember, good nutrition is key to athletic performance and recovery. Eat well to fuel your body and achieve your goals!

Did you know that our very own Cory Coehoorn has been conducting groundbreaking research on heat stress tests?

Cory has developed a unique method of testing that involves having participants wear a firefighter suit while completing a 20-minute circuit on a treadmill with constant acceleration and incline. But that's not all - the test also includes monitoring the subject's physical state before, during, and after the trial to assess their body's response to the heat stress.
But what really sets this test apart is the use of thermal imaging to measure the temperature of the firefighter suit both before and after the test. This allows researchers to visualize just how hot the suit gets during the trial, providing valuable insights into the effects of heat stress on the body.

At LSUS Shreveport's Health and Performance Lab, we're committed to advancing our understanding of human physiology and performance under extreme conditions. Stay tuned for more updates from our cutting-edge research facility!

Mental and emotional factors can have a significant impact on human performance. Stress, anxiety, and depression can all impair cognitive function, decision-making, and physical performance. On the other hand, positive emotions such as happiness and optimism can boost performance.

Ever wonder what being in the heat does to your brain?
We did too so we hooked up our local fire departments with VO2, and a host of other sensors to find out what happens.
We also put them in a climate controlled chamber, turned the heat up and let their core temperatures rise.
Let’s see how we can help our first responders!
