Those thinking about space travel and Mars migration will need to train their body with a gym

Not only NASA but Mr. Eulon Mask'sSpaceXAnd Mr. Jeff BesusBlue OriginAlthough many private enterprises such as the private sector companies are advancing the plan on space travel and Mars migration, it is difficult to exercise dislike which shows that "It is indispensable to train your body with a gym in the middle of space travel" Was announced.

In the space environment where the gravity is small, the muscles decline and become atrophied, which may adversely affect the heart disease system and respiratory systemIt has been shown in previous studies. On the other hand, not only low gravity but also "hypoxia" are elements of elements that adversely affect muscle. Because mitochondria uses oxygen to generate energy, enough oxygen is also required for muscles to function.


Therefore, in order to observe the influence on the muscle by hypoxia, researchers at Udine University in Italy are asked 11 healthy 21-year old men to stay in bed for 21 days at the Olympic Center in Slovenia I did an experiment called. This center is equipped with facilities that can make the entire floor of the building the same as that of Takayama. In one session, the oxygen-rich altitude low state is reproduced, and on the other side, the low oxygen elevation He said that he reproduced a high state. In each session the subject was instructed to do a knee extension movement and the researchers observed how energy was generated and consumed in the subject's body.

As a result, the subjects who were in the low oxygen situation saw signs causing respiratory problems, but they did not go to the point where they actually fell into dysfunction. The researchers seem to have avoided the problem of increasing damage by increasing blood flow by exercise. In the past, it was thought that both "inactivation of muscle by low gravity" and "hypoxia" had a bad influence on the muscles, but this study revealed that "inactivation of muscle by low gravity" It is shown that it has a bigger influence.

This experiment is preliminary and further research is necessary to draw a conclusion, but NASA and private enterprises thinking about space travel and Martian resettlement will be able to offer more exercise opportunities to travelers It has been shown that it has become necessary to consider facility design to promote exercise.
