FIT Exercise in 30d of ULLS-induced Muscle Disuse
Sponsor: Lance Bollinger
Summary
This study aims to determine how flywheel-based inertial training (FIT) implemented according to principles of velocity-based training (VBT) and High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) affects disuse-induced physical de-conditioning including loss of voluntary muscle strength, aerobic capacity, and balance regulation.
Official title: Use of Velocity Monitoring to Prescribe Appropriate Flywheel-based Inertial Training (FIT) Workloads for Exercise in Space Flight

Interventions
velocity-based FIT (VBFIT)
Participants will ambulate unilaterally using a shoe modified with a 5cm rocker-style stack and forearm crutches for the duration of the study. All participants will complete two testing sessions prior to ULLS, one testing session at day 13, and two testing sessions at the end of the study. Those assigned to the exercise group will perform a both high-intensity resistance and aerobic exercise three times per week
