Growth & Aging LabKyung Hee University
01 / Physical activity & aging
We explore physical activity, physiological function, and health across the aging process.
Combining movement assessment and population data, we examine how physical activity relates to cardiovascular, metabolic, and bone health.
Inside our labForce plate · ECG · Accelerometry
02 / Exercise & performance
We investigate how training protocols influence muscle function and fatigue resistance in athletes.
Our work examines exercise intensity, work-to-rest ratios, and recovery to better understand physiological responses to training.
Inside our labSprint timing · Heart rate sensing
03 / Cardiovascular responses
We examine heart rate variability and vascular responses to high-intensity interval exercise.
Controlled cycling provides a setting to study exercise intensity, cardiac autonomic regulation, and recovery.
Inside our labMonark Ergomedic 894E / 828E
04 / Muscle & joint function
We assess knee flexor and extensor strength and differences between the dominant and non-dominant legs.
Isokinetic assessment helps us examine strength ratios, muscle function, and asymmetry in athletes.
Inside our labCybex Humac Norm · Model 770
05 / Body composition & bone
We use DXA to assess body composition alongside measurements of muscle function.
Fat mass, lean mass, and bone measurements complement our study of growth, physical performance, and health.

Growth & Aging Lab
We study how exercise and physical activity relate to human growth, development, and aging.
At Kyung Hee University, our research combines exercise interventions, physiological measurements, and population data to examine cardiovascular function, muscle performance, and health from childhood to older adulthood.
