Lower limb position during treadmill jogging and fast running in microgravity.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: The second-generation ISS treadmill has a faster maximum operating speed than the current ISS treadmill. In normal gravity (1 G), bone loading benefits and cardiorespiratory stress are directly related to locomotion speed. A kinematic ... Read more...

Self-reported dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids and association with bone and lower extremity function.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: To assess the relationship between self-reported omega-3 fatty acid (O3FA) intake and bone mineral density (BMD) and lower extremity function in older adults. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis of baseline information from three separate ... Read more...
