Jumping on the moon as a potential exercise countermeasure

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
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 ...

ATHLETIC: An exoskeleton countermeasure exercise device for resistive and plyometric training in deep‐space missions

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged exposure to weightlessness leads to loss of muscle and bone mass. Therefore, astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) currently perform mandatory daily exercises. ISS missions usually last 6 months, and future missions will become significantly longer when going, for example, to Mars.

NEX4EX – A novel exercise device enabling resistive, plyometric and sensorimotor training during deep‐space missions: A case report

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract During weightlessness, the human neuro–muscular–skeletal system undergoes maladaptation to the microgravity environment. The European Space Agency (ESA) project NEX4EX, ‘Novel Exercise Hardware for Exploration’, developed an advanced multipurpose exerciser offering resistive (RES), plyometric (PLYO) and sensorimotor (SENSO) exercises.

Galvanic vestibular stimulation reveals disruption of ipsilesional brainstem pathways in hemiparetic stroke survivors

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The spatiotemporal structure of muscle coordination emerges from the collaboration and competition among cortical, brainstem and spinal pathways onto motor neuron pools, each continuously shaped by task demands, limb position and descending tract integrity.

Advancing tele‐physiology: A chest patch solution for continuous, non‐invasive remote monitoring in a hypoxic environment

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Skin‐mounted sensors are thin, flexible and lightweight electronic devices that enable monitoring of multiple physiological parameters. The aim of this study was to provide pilot evidence for possible utilization of a sensorized patch for capturing the bodily response to hypoxia. The subsequent phases of the study comprised a case report and a
