Why sleep pods are science fiction: Long-term space travelers need high-intensity exercise to protect their hearts, study says
The prospect of sleeping all the way to Mars will need to overcome one critical Earthbound reality – the human heart needs high-intensity exercise to offset the effects of zero gravity, researchers say. The human heart shrinks when it is in a zero-gravity environment for a prolonged period and low-intensity exercise does not do enough to reverse the damage. Here on Earth, gravity plays a key role in maintaining the size of the heart, researchers from the University of Texas say, so long-term exposure to weightlessness adversely affects the heart’s ability to function. "The heart is remarkably plastic and especially responsive to gravit
