Jumping on the moon as a potential exercise countermeasure
Abstract The Moon's gravitational field strength (17% Earth's gravity) may facilitate the use of bodyweight jumping as an exercise countermeasure against musculoskeletal and cardiovascular deconditioning in reduced gravity settings. The present study characterised the acute physiological and kinetic responses to bodyweight jumping in simulated Lunar ...

Abstract The association between higher levels of physical activity and lower cancer risk and mortality is well established. However, a causal link is yet to be proven. Recent studies showed a decrease in the proliferation rates of cultured human cancer cells when the human serum used to stimulate them was conditioned by acute exercise. Here, we tested

Design and experimental evaluation of a multi-drum magnetorheological brake with side-set dual-coil
Torque density, torque range and response time are the problems to be solved urgently in the field of magnetorheological (MR) transmission. To improve the torque, the most frequently used techniques are increasing the effective area and magnetic field ...

Abstract figure legend Exhaustive cycling exercise substantially reduces liver and muscle glycogen stores. During 12 h of post‐exercise recovery without carbohydrate intake, glycogen stores remain depleted. In contrast, when carbohydrate is consumed at 10 g/kg body mass (BM), provided during the first 6 h as sucrose beverages (1.2 g/kg BM/h), liver ...

Abstract figure legend Group III/IV leg muscle afferent feedback has previously been recognized as an important determinant of the cardiovascular response to exercise lasting <5 min. Here we demonstrate that the activity of these neurons is crucial in regulating central and peripheral haemodynamic responses during steady state exercise of longer ...

Variation in arboreality across gorilla populations is associated with systematic differences in manual digital lengths. Using a new dataset of linear metrics from the Bwindi mountain gorillas, we quantify metacarpal and phalangeal lengths in eastern and western gorilla populations across all five rays. Consistent with quantified behavioral differences,

Abstract Dust, sea salt, and anthropogenic and biogenic particles in total atmospheric deposition are sources of essential elements that can significantly impact biogeochemical cycles in the Atlantic Ocean and in islands of the Caribbean region. This unique 41‐month data set records direct sampling of total atmospheric deposition from March 2015 to ...
