So astronauts practice their legs in space like this! Netizen: Even if you stomp, you're numb
On September 5th, the China Manned Space Engineering Office released a video of Shenzhou-16 astronauts practicing their legs in space, introducing people to a new piece of equipment - biomimetic adhesive shoes.
From the video, it can be seen that the appearance of bionic adhesive shoes is similar to that of ordinary men's sandals. Astronauts wearing it stomped and lifted their legs vigorously on a flat plate, repeatedly left and right, like a mischievous child treading water in daily life.
According to Pang Zhihao, the chief scientific communication expert of national space exploration technology, wearing bionic adhesive shoes and stepping on specially designed pedals will generate adsorption force, requiring a certain amount of force to lift the feet and thus play a role in exercise. At the same time, the equipment will be equipped with muscle sensors fixed in the legs, which can achieve quantitative monitoring of muscle and bone stimulation during exercise.
A netizen admitted after watching the video: What a slimming leg! Some netizens also started playing with the meme in the skit: Even if you stomp, you're numb!
Research has shown that if astronauts fly in space for a year, it takes about a month for their muscles to recover after returning to the ground; The lost calcium can account for about 25% of the total body calcium, making it difficult to fully recover even after two to three years.
The duration of each flight mission for Chinese astronauts is usually arranged for six months. In order to avoid significant damage to their bodies, the space station has prepared various exercise facilities for astronauts to exercise various muscle groups throughout their bodies.
The space bicycle we once saw on television is officially called the "Space Bicycle Dynamometer". Space teacher Wang Yaping once performed the "space stunt" of inverted hand cranked bicycles in the Tiangong classroom. In addition, the space station also has exercise facilities such as a space running platform, a booster, a lower body negative pressure device, and a neuromuscular stimulator.
