The Functional Assessment and Psychophysiology Laboratory is a unique space supervised by an exercise physiologist where functional and behavioral testing is conducted in patients with respiratory disease (i.e., asthma and COPD). The lab offers equipment to test both physical and psychological stress (i.e., maximal treadmill tests and mental stress tasks), as well as body composition analysis and ambulatory physical activity monitoring.
