Microgravity‐induced changes in skeletal muscle and possible countermeasures: What we can learn from bed rest and human space studies

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite exercise countermeasures to sustain health and performance in spaceflight, complete maintenance of muscle mass and functions in microgravity is still not possible for most astronauts. The principal cause of the limited effectiveness of existing exercise countermeasures is the difficulty in achieving full loading forces in space.

Seven days of mixed‐method heat acclimation improved markers of cardiovascular and fluid‐regulatory strain during exercise‐heat stress

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract A mixed‐method heat acclimation (HA) protocol may optimise performance by supporting the training taper while promoting thermal adaptation; however, the impact on cardiovascular and fluid‐regulatory adjustments to protect health is unknown. Therefore, we examined the effects of a mixed‐method heat protocol on physiological responses, including

Metamorphism of Venus as driver of crustal thickness and recycling

open access: yesNature Communications
The composition and thickness of the venusian crust and their dependence on thermal gradients and geodynamic setting are not well constrained. Here, we use metamorphic phase transitions and the onset of melting to determine the maximum crustal thickness ...

Blood flow restriction exercise during microgravity exposure in parabolic flight

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This case report evaluates whether it is possible to perform blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise during exposure to microgravity. The objectives were three‐fold: (1) to determine if a personalised tourniquet system (PTS) hardware technology performs nominally and enables BFR exercise in microgravity; (2) to determine if BFR augments the ...
