Physical Education and Sports Centre - Research projects

Research of the centre

• We provide a load-physiological check-up for every freshman (PWC 170 protocol). Our aim is to make at least 5-7% of the student population to participate in our longitudinal survey. After evaluation, our students not only get information about their morphological, physiological and conditional abilities but after an individual consultation we direct them towards adequate sports activities.
• Co-operation in the development of European fitness standards and incorporation of the developed levels in the physical education requirements,
• Planned measurement of the level of physical fitness of the athletes of Széchenyi ESE (University Sports Club),
• Structural changes in municipality sponsorship in Hungary, comparative analysis among successful towns in sport.

The devices and equipment of the laboratory is continuously being improved. The evaluation of resting ECG and exercise ECG (stress test) is computer-aided. The effects of any sports activities on the circulation can be examined with the help of the telemetry pulse monitor and the portable analyser. Thus we can get help in determining the optimal work- load intensity. We carry out estimations of body composition with a bio-impedance measurement instrument and skin fold calliper.
