UMass CHAMP Study Cultivating Healthy Aging and Muscle Performance (CHAMP)

The Muscle Biology Laboratory combines the use of advanced engineering methods to measure muscle function at the molecular and single fiber levels with imaging techniques to examine muscle structure from the myofibril to the tissue level, biochemical techniques to quantify proteins as well as techniques to analyze the whole body skeletal muscle contractile performance. Our primary mission is to understand how changes in human skeletal muscle at the single fiber and molecular levels alter whole muscle contraction in order to help develop countermeasures to the age-related loss of muscle performance.

This is our Biodex machine! We use this to measure your leg's strength and power. It looks intimating, but I assure you it's very safe as it was designed for rehabilitation.
