Nice to see this paper from myself and Christoph Centner now online in Journal of Applied Physiology #ArticlesInPress We discuss the idiosyncratic responses of bone in relation to #BFR exercise, and develop a methodological framework for future research journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

Happy to be heading back to Texas for the 2024 Spaceflight Human Optimisation and Performance Summit to speak on exercise countermeasures for commercial astronauts. If last year is anything to go by, this one is not to be missed: uhcl.edu/hhpi/spaceflig…

This is a fantastic time to join our team with the development underway for our North East Space Skills and Technology Centre, a state of the art Β£50M facility funded in partnership by Northumbria Uni UK Space Agency and Lockheed Martin northumbria.ac.uk/business-servi…

The successful candidate will get to conduct their research using our Variable Gravity Suspension System, which enables the performance of resistance, aerobic and plyometric/jumping exercise in simulated microgravity and Lunar and Martian Gravity:

Crazy to think our #BloodFlowRestrictionExercise research is up there in SpaceX Dragon with the fram2 orbiting at ~440km above the Earth. A very important step towards optimising astronaut health and performance in space during LEO and exploration class missions to the
