Hanze Active Ageing Lab (HAAL)

The HAAL offers measuring instruments to perform physiological and psychological measurements.

The Hanze Active Ageing Lab (HAAL) offers measuring instruments to perform physiological and psychological measurements such as daily activity, muscle strength, gait analysis, heart rate variability, various cognitive tests and body composition. The lectorate offers substantive expertise on the choice of a measurement instrument and on the interpretation of measurement results.

The HAAL can be used for teaching (lectures, thesis research, etc.) and for research. With the help of a manual, most measurement setups can be used immediately. A few measurement setups such as ergospirometry or ECG require more training to perform responsible measurements.

There are many opportunities for student projects aimed at determining the reliability or validity of measurements in various target groups.
