Hopping in hypogravity-A rationale for a plyometric exercise countermeasure in planetary exploration missions.

Moon and Mars are considered to be future targets for human space explorations. The gravity level on the Moon and Mars amount to 16% and 38%, respectively, of Earth's gravity. Mechanical loading during the anticipated habitual activities in these hypogravity environments will most likely not be...
