UAB NORC Core E - Physical Activity Core

体育活动核心（PAC），成立于2014年初，提供最先进的和具有成本效益的 评估有氧健身，肌肉力量，运动经济性，和效率，感知消耗和 生理放松，关节灵活性，肌肉激活，身体功能，动脉弹性，自由生活的身体 活动，并监督运动训练的资助和试点肥胖相关的研究项目。到 为了实现这一点，核心保持专用空间，容纳仪器收集和提供质量控制 数据，并为一系列重要的评估和服务提供训练有素的技术人员， 以及专用的运动训练设施以适应研究者的需求范围（即，从 小规模的试点研究到大规模的R 01方案）。PAC还促进研究和培训机会 通过向学生、研究员和教师提供建议、咨询和指导，在UAB各地开展工作。最后，核心 致力于发展和扩大与身体活动/健康评估有关的方法 以及针对特定人群（包括身体残疾者）肥胖症的运动训练方案。

The Physical Activity Core (PAC), established in early 2014, provides state-of-the-art and cost-effective assessments of aerobic fitness, muscle strength, exercise economy, and efficiency, perceived exertion and physiological ease, joint flexibility, muscle activation, physical functioning, arterial elasticity, free-living physical activity, and supervised exercise training for both funded and pilot obesity-related research projects. To accomplish this, the Core maintains dedicated space, houses instruments to collect and provide quality control data, and provides staffing by trained technical personnel for a range of important assessments and services, as well as a dedicated exercise training facility to accommodate the range of investigator needs (i.e., from small pilot studies to large-scale R01 protocols). The PAC also facilitates research and training opportunities across UAB by offering advice, consultations, and instruction to students, fellows, and faculty. Finally, the Core pursues developing and expanding methodological approaches related to physical activity/fitness assessment and exercise training protocols for obesity in specific populations, including persons with physical disabilities.
