Contractile behavior of the gastrocnemius medialis muscle during running in simulated hypogravity

Abstract Vigorous exercise countermeasures in microgravity can largely attenuate muscular degeneration, albeit the extent of applied loading is key for the extent of muscle wasting. Running on the International Space Station is usually performed with maximum loads of 70% body weight (0.7 g). However...
