SOP regarding VO2 Peak Protocol

 human participants procedure
REB SOP 005 - Finger Prick Blood Sampling by Medical Technician

A finger prick blood sample will be obtained from each participant by pricking a finger using a  single-use disposable, retractable lancet (BD- Genie Lancet Cat. No 366583).These devices are used routinely by diabetics to test blood glucose. The BD microcollection Lancet ensures minimum discomfort to the participant, and will provide only an appropriate drop of blood for the analysis.

REB SOP 007 - Assessment of the Level of Motor Neuron Excitation using the Hoffman-Reflex

The Hoffmann-Reflex (H-reflex) is an artificial representation of the mechanically induced stretch reflex and can be utilized to test the excitability of the alpha motor neuron pool in the spinal cord. 

 human participants procedure
REB SOP 008 - DXA

To provide guidance when collecting data using a DXA scanner for the purposes of research. Researchers should use this SOP to facilitate the REB application process.

 human participants procedure
REB SOP 009 - Indirect Calorimetry using the Max-IIa Metabolic System

Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is measured with the Max-II Metabolic System using continuous open-circuit indirect calorimetry with the help of a ventilated hood placed over the participant’s head and neck. 

 human participants procedure
REB SOP 010 - Recording Muscle Activity in Human Subjects Using Surface Electromyography

Electromyography (EMG) is a technique used to record electrical activity on the surface of muscles. 

 human participants procedure
REB SOP 011 - Finger Prick Blood Sampling

A finger prick blood sample will be obtained by each participant by pricking themselves using a contact, single-use disposable retractable lancet (Fisher Scientific, B366593).  These devices must be used in order to prick the skin in order to draw a drop of blood for analysis.

 human participants procedure
REB SOP 012 - Artificial Stimulation Of The Vestibular System Using Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation

Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) is a technique that is used to stimulate the vestibular system via a current applied bilaterally to the external mastoid processes (bony prominence) located behind the ears.

REB SOP 013 - Anthropometric Measurements

This document describes the specific procedures that are to be followed by researchers at the HNRU during execution of the following:

  • Anthropometric measurements (i.e. height, body weight, BMI, waist and hip circumference, BIA, blood pressure);

This document describes the SOP to be used for anthropometric measurements executed on adults (i.e. participants greater than 18 years of age). 

 human participants procedure
REB SOP 014 - Blood Sample Procurement by Venipuncture

This document describes the specific procedures that are to be followed by researchers at the HNRU during execution of the following:

  • Biological sample procurement by venipuncture

This document describes the standard procedures to be used for blood sample procurement by venipuncture executed on adults (i.e. participants greater than 18 years of age).
