简要总结

The present study aimed to investigate the importance of gravitational induced forces that appear during normal ambulation for the health of muscles, bones and blood vessels. The main hypothesis of the present study is that gravitational loading alone, without muscle contractions, is insufficient to maintain bone strength.

详细描述

The 56day unloading intervention with HEPHAISTOS had the following key objectives:

  1. Primary objective: Assessment and evaluation of bone adaptation.
  2. Secondary objective: Assessment and evaluation of functional and structural muscular adaptations.
  3. Third objective: Assessment and evaluation of functional and structural vascular adaptations.
  4. Fourth objective: Assessment and evaluation if the present findings deviate from findings observed in established unloading models.
