Everyone Invited!!! Let's make this extra special. Block off the Date: August 10th, Saturday, Noon!

Some of the hand grip dynamometers displayed from different countries at the Exercise Science Center. Notice the American grip strength testers are three times the size of the others.

Carbon monoxide monitor allows a simple way to see how many percentage points of the oximetry reading is made up of carbon monoxide. A standard oximeter cannot distinguish between oxygen or carbon monoxide molecules attached to the hemoglobin of the red blood cells. Since a normal oxygen saturation reading is 98%, a heavy cigarette smoker may show 6% of his saturation is from carbon monoxide, so his true O2 saturation is 92%.
The Exercise Science Center evaluated a young man who smoked, and cut down trees for a living. All day he had a chain saw exhausting fumes in his face. His carbon monoxide levels were over 12% making him eligible for oxygen through his insurance carrier. Months later he came back to our facility, had quit smoking and showed a 98% saturation.

Yauger played football and trained at the ESC from 9th grade to his senior of high school. When he joined he was 6' 4.5" and 276 lbs and never done a sport. I told him I was going to make him an athlete not a football player. When he went off to college in 1994, he was a pre-season All-American as a freshman. Ran the mile in 5:52, benched 405, and ran the 40 in 5 flat. He now does marathons. Mission accomplished.
