Welcome
The UCLA Exercise and Metabolic Disease Research Laboratory (EMDR) investigates the efficacy and mechanisms by which exercise training and diet interventions prevent metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.
Current Studies
GET FIT
The purpose of this project is to determine the effects of a 12-week resistance training and diet intervention on cardiovascular and metabolic health among overweight individuals.
START
The purpose of this project is to determine the effects of a 12-week resistance training and nicotine-replacement therapy intervention on cardiovascular health in regular smokers.
Get to know your body composition!
EMDR is offering DXA Body Composition Analysis at a reduced rate in Los Angeles, CA - only $50 per scan!
Body composition by DXA (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry) is considered the "gold standard" for body fat testing, and gives an accurate measure for assessing health. The exam is non-invasive and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.

P50
This project looks at cardiovascular function in younger and older related adults with different immigrant status to increase our understanding of the Latino paradox. In addition we are investigating the effects of a diet and exercise intervention in Latinos.
TRAIN FIRST
The goal of this pilot study is to compare strength training and high-intensity interval training (sprinting) to traditional moderate intensity aerobic exercise (like walking or running) on glycemic control in young adults with prediabetes.
