DEXA, short for Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, is sometimes referred to as a bone densitometer and measures bone density and body composition. It will be used by students in PSU’s rapidly growing Exercise Science Program. Mike Leiker, assistant professor in the Department of Health, Human Performance and Recreation (HHPR) and director of the Human Performance Lab, said DEXA will be an important learning tool for students. “After they graduate, some of our students will likely find themselves in clinical settings where DEXA is used,” Leiker said. “This experience will not only teach them how to use the technology, but will also benefit them in developing important professional clinical relationships with clients.” To read complete article visit: http://www.pittstate.edu/news/human-performance-lab-adds-impressive-technology
