Hypogravity simulation using the Variable Gravity Suspension System: A technical report [PDF]
Experimental PhysiologyHuman movement has evolved within Earth's gravitational environment (1 g; −9.81 m s−2). Future human exploration of terrestrial bodies, including the Moon (0.17 g; −1.62 m s−2) and Mars (0.38 g; −3.71 m s−2), will require astronauts to live and work ...

Effectiveness of CPR in Hypogravity Conditions—A Systematic Review [PDF]
Life, 2022 (1) Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), as a form of basic life support, is critical for maintaining cardiac and cerebral perfusion during cardiac arrest, a medical condition with high expected mortality.

Human movement in simulated hypogravity—Bridging the gap between space research and terrestrial rehabilitation [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 Human movement is optimized to Earth's gravity and based on highly complex interactions between sensory and neuro-muscular systems. Yet, humans are able to adapt—at least partially—to extreme environments upon and beyond Earth's surface.

Human Locomotion in Hypogravity: From Basic Research to Clinical Applications [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 We have considerable knowledge about the mechanisms underlying compensation of Earth gravity during locomotion, a knowledge obtained from physiological, biomechanical, modeling, developmental, comparative, and paleoanthropological studies.

The Three-Dimensional Body Center of Mass at the Workplace under Hypogravity [PDF]
Bioengineering, 2023 The center of mass dynamics of the seated posture of humans in a work environment under hypogravity (0 < g < 1) have rarely been investigated, and such research is yet to be carried out.

An Empirical and Subjective Model of Upper Extremity Fatigue Under Hypogravity [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 In the context of extra-terrestrial missions, the effects of hypogravity (0 < G < 1) on the human body can reduce the well-being of the crew, cause musculoskeletal problems and affect their ability to perform tasks, especially during long-term ...

Hopping in hypogravity-A rationale for a plyometric exercise countermeasure in planetary exploration missions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Moon and Mars are considered to be future targets for human space explorations. The gravity level on the Moon and Mars amount to 16% and 38%, respectively, of Earth's gravity.

Contractile behavior of the gastrocnemius medialis muscle during running in simulated hypogravity [PDF]
npj Microgravity, 2021 Vigorous exercise countermeasures in microgravity can largely attenuate muscular degeneration, albeit the extent of applied loading is key for the extent of muscle wasting.

Muscle synergies inherent in simulated hypogravity running reveal flexible but not unconstrained locomotor control [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWith human space exploration back in the spotlight, recent studies have investigated the neuromuscular adjustments to simulated hypogravity running. They have examined the activity of individual muscles, whereas the central nervous system may rather ...

A novel computational framework for the estimation of internal musculoskeletal loading and muscle adaptation in hypogravity [PDF]
Frontiers in PhysiologyIntroduction: Spaceflight is associated with substantial and variable musculoskeletal (MSK) adaptations. Characterisation of muscle and joint loading profiles can provide key information to better align exercise prescription to astronaut MSK adaptations ...
