Another fun (and active!) series of experiments on our @framonauts mission. Project: Efficient Exercise 💪🏻 Question: How can we a) shorten necessary exercise time and b) develop a portable device for use in space? Fun facts: - We tested blood flow restriction (BFR) training with a compact resistance device - BFR limits blood return from muscles, simulating high-load workouts using much lighter weights - This causes micro-damage in muscle tissue (similar to regular intense exercise) triggering growth and repair - In microgravity, regular exercise is essential to prevent muscle atrophy and bone density loss - Astronauts currently exercise 2 hours a day - our goal is to reduce that without losing benefits. - The tested device is lightweight, portable, and could save valuable time and space onboard missions Institutes: Northumbria University, Sheffield Hallam University Find the full list of projects here: f2.com/research.pdf #fram2 Music creds: jiglr - Lapse

First time humans will be in polar orbit around Earth launches on Monday! @framonauts

In case you were wondering what a pyramid of 15 @Owens_Recovery BFR systems look like 😍 Getting ready for the start of an enormous multicentre RCT integrating BFR technology across @DMS_DefRehab 🙌🏼 Training being delivered to 20 clinicians at @dms_dmrc this week 🤙🏼
