And here it is... footage of our #BloodFlowRestrictionExercise experiment with @SpaceX #Fram2 the first ever BFR exercise in microgravity performed by the @framonauts while orbiting the Earth in space! An important step for the development of BFR as an exercise countermeasure…
Another fun (and active!) series of experiments on our @framonauts mission. Project: Efficient Exercise 💪🏻 Question: How can we a) shorten necessary exercise time and b) develop a portable device for use in space? Fun facts: - We tested blood flow restriction (BFR) training…
Our new paper and latest from @Patrick_M_Swain PhD & Filipa Santos. We demonstrate that jumping in simulated Lunar-gravity (~17% bodyweight) in the Variable Gravity Suspension System enables cardiovascular exercise in the moderate and heavy intensity domains which may benefit…
Our new paper investigating tourniquet cuff pressure regulation during #BFR exercise is now online in @FrontSportsAL We conducted the most in-depth analysis of tourniquet cuff pressure regulation during BFR exercise to date, across several commercially available devices. Key…
Latest from @Patrick_M_Swain PhD and our @NUaerospacemed lab, where we demonstrate hypogravity simulation with our bespoke Variable Gravity Suspension System in @ExpPhysiol A key paper as we move toward our new Space Physiology lab in @NorthumbriaUni North East Space Skills and…

Congratulations @LG_EPT on your second paper from your PhD in @bmj_latest👇🏽 bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/5/e…
Fantastic to have @BlueSpotScience talk to us about exercise prescription and mitochondrial function 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️ 🧬 🧫. An insightful and stimulating seminar 🙏😊
Enjoyed our session discussing how Blood Flow Restriction could be used to optimise exercise countermeasures to spaceflight at #SHOP25 and showing our ongoing programme of research, including our recent historic mission to take BFR to space with @SpaceX
Day 1 of the Spaceflight Human Optimization and Performance Summit at @SpaceCenterHou #SHOP25
😉
We know that trophies are what count and we will do everything possible to make that happen next season. Our fans deserve it and we will fight like hell.
Check out our most recent blog to see how NASA and SpaceX are implementing BFR with the Delfi PTS for BFR into the care of space travelers both in orbit and here on earth! 🚀 👽 🛰️ owensrecoveryscience.com/blog-view/-blo… @_LukeHughes_ @johnnyowensCFI
Nice to see our paper now online in @JPhysiol 'Neuromotor changes in postural control following bedrest'👇🏽 w/ Ramona Ritzmann @centner_c @UrosMarusic Janice Waldvogel physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Our new @BJSM_BMJ editorial, outlining 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 for #BloodFlowRestriction research, is now published online. Important paper w/some excellent co-authors @jploenneke @thebfrpros @centner_c @johnnyowensCFI @S_Warmington @Patrick_M_Swain
Splashdown of Dragon and the @framonauts confirmed – welcome back to Earth @satofishi, @astro_jannicke, @rprogge, and @Icetrek!
Crazy to think our #BloodFlowRestrictionExercise research is up there in @SpaceX Dragon with the @framonauts 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…
