Aims:
THIS TASK IS CURRENLTY ON HOLD.
Crewmembers
perform resistance exercise on the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device
(ARED). There have been no biomechanical analyses of ARED exercise
during inflight operations. Ground- and flight-based biomechanical
analyses of ARED resistance exercise will be performed to improve
kinematic modeling of differences between various gravitational
conditions as well as identify the types of exercises in flight that
will have the best loading profiles to protect bone and muscle strength.
The specific aims of this study are to:
- Using
motion capture and ground reaction force data, quantify the joint
loading that occurs during resistance exercise using the ARED.
- Use
ground and in flight data to understand kinematic differences between
ground and flight exercise to help optimize exercise prescriptions.
