Great to see Luke Hughes presenting Chelsea FC today about blood flow restriction exercise and how it can benefit player post-match recovery and rehab ๐ชโฝ๏ธ NU Sport Ex & Rehab NU Aerospace Med Lab Northumbria Uni

Weโre getting super excited as preparations continue for our next European Space Agency bedrest campaign, starting next year Joลพef Stefan Institute ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐๐๐๐ช. NU Sport Ex & Rehab Northumbria Uni UK Space Life and Biomedical Sciences Association UK Space Agency

Great to be invited to speak at the Spaceflight Human Optimization & Performance Summit in Houston, Texas in April 2023 NASA University of Houston-Clear Lake on Blood Flow Restriction Exercise as a countermeasure to spaceflight & rehabilitation Registration opens Jan 9th๐๐ฝ uhcl.edu/hhpi/shop-23/


Latest paper with Professor Deiary Kader (Medical Doctor) on the factors associated with clinically significant improvements in health-related quality of life after total knee replacement surgery ๐ฆต๐ปโฌ๏ธ rdcu.be/c2dX3 NU Sport Ex & Rehab NU Aerospace Med Lab

We are super excited to now have an AlterG Anti-Gravity Systems treadmill in the #NorthumbriaPhysioClinic that our NorthumbriaUni Physio placement students will be able to use to deliver cutting edge rehab to patients ๐โโ๏ธ NU Sport Ex & Rehab NorthumbriaUni Sport Kirsty Lindsay Northumbria Uni

Some great photos from Luke Hughes from NASA's Johnson Space Center who was invited to present on blood flow restriction exercise in space at the NASA Human Spaceflight Optimization and Performance Summit this week.

Very interesting case study just published in #ActaAstronautica on physiological and biomechanical responses to running in simulated hypogravity while wearing a gravity loading skinsuit, by Phil Carvil Kirsty Lindsay @Space_Doctor Dr Varsha Jain and Dave Green doi.org/10.1016/j.actaโฆ

I have 2 x Research Internships in Aerospace Physiology/Biomechanics available for current Northumbria University students, which include 100 paid hours each. See below๐๐ฝNorthumbria Uni Northumbria Uni Students NorthumbriaUni Sport NU Sport Ex & Rehab NU Aerospace Med Lab northumbria.targetconnect.net/leap/jobs.htmlโฆ

๐จPlease share Fully-funded PhD studentship opportunity with myself, Prof Prof Nick Caplan (he/him) ๐จ๐ผโ๐๐๐๐ค๐๐ค and Dr. Claire Bruce-Martin on developing #BloodFlowRestriction exercise as a spaceflight countermeasure, investigating the physiology & biomechanics in simulated micro- and hypo-gravity.


We have another exciting opportunity to come and work with us NU Aerospace Med Lab NU Sport Ex & Rehab Northumbria Uni, looking at novel exercise countermeasures in simulated reduced gravity using the Variable Gravity Suspension System #VGSS. Get in touch if youโre interested ๐ช๐๐ฉ๐ปโ๐๐๐

Come and join the team at an unprecedented and exciting time here Northumbria Uni as we embark on ambitious developments that will help shape the UK space sector

Find out more about the exciting research we are doing, after winning the #HumansInSpace challenge last month, looking at blood flow restriction exercise as a countermeasure for use in space ๐ช๐ฉ๐ปโ๐๐ Luke Hughes NU Aerospace Med Lab NU Sport Ex & Rehab Northumbria Uni mynewsdesk.com/uk/northumbriaโฆ

PhD opportunity in stroke and PD rehab Northumbria Uni get in touch for more details eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%โฆ

A key area we want to recruit into is space physiology. Apply now if this is you, and want to join a University that is helping to shape the UK space sector #SpaceNU NU Aerospace Med Lab


We are delighted to be awarded this funding from UK Space Agency. Hopefully we will soon have a personalised tourniquet system for spaceflight that has potential to transform exercise countermeasure effectiveness in space ๐ช๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ Luke Hughes Prof Nick Caplan (he/him) ๐จ๐ผโ๐๐๐๐ค๐๐ค NU Sport Ex & Rehab


To say Iโm excited is the biggest understatement ever!! Our #BFR exercise research is launching to spaceโฆTONIGHT, 10 years since NU Aerospace Med Lab was officially formed. Feeling so proud of what we have achieved. Luke Hughes NU Sport Ex & Rehab Northumbria Uni @spaceX fram2

It was so exciting to see research from the lab as one of a select few experiments, being conducted on Dragon as part of the FRAM2 mission, being introduced to the world just minutes before launch yesterday morning ๐คฉ #BFR NU Sport Ex & Rehab Northumbria Uni

Nice to see our paper now online in Journal of Physiology 'Neuromotor changes in postural control following bedrest'๐๐ฝ w/ Ramona Ritzmann Christoph Centner Uros Marusic Janice Waldvogel physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11โฆ
