This study puts 24 healthy men on 60 days of strict bedrest to mimic weightlessness in space. Researchers are testing whether a special cycling exercise combined with artificial gravity from a centrifuge can prevent the body from weakening. The goal is to find better ways to keep…

This study tested whether training with an upper-limb exoskeleton improves fine motor control in high-gravity conditions, like those astronauts face. Twelve healthy adults performed a pointing task in a centrifuge, with one group trained using the exoskeleton and the other withou…
