The Endurance Performance Lab is housed in the School of Kinesiology at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The lab is equipped with a high performance treadmill, cycle ergometer, metabolic cart, as well as blood lactate and body composition assessment capabilities. 

We offer performance testing services for runners and cyclists, including VO2max, lactate and ventilatory thresholds, running/cycling economy. We also offer performance footwear assessments to help runners determine their most optimal shoe  to wear on race day. Lastly, the lab also offers cardiovascular fitness testing for general health assessment purposes.

See our Testing Services section for more details on specific tests offered and pricing.

Dustin Joubert received his PhD in Exercise Physiology from Texas A&M University in 2015.  He is a certified Exercsie Physiologist with the American College of Sport's Medicine. Dustin is a life long runner and competed in triathlon for several years as well. His focus when it comes to laboratory based physiological testing is to provide useful, applied knowledge that can be used by athletes and coaches in training and/or race day.

Dustin's research interest is on endurance sports performance, particularly for runners. His recent focus has been on the performance benefits of "Super Shoes".
