FIT Exercise in 30d of ULLS-induced Muscle Disuse (NCT06631053)

Use of Velocity Monitoring to Prescribe Appropriate Flywheel-based Inertial Training (FIT) Workloads for Exercise in Space Flight

🟢 Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 📋 Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Lance Bollinger

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

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.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (2 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (18 items).

Location: University of Kentucky — Lexington, Kentucky

Age range: 35 Years to 45 Years
