Heart tests suggest astronauts could tolerate Mars' gravity after months in space

A trip to Mars may be more feasible than previously thought, suggests a new study led by Northwestern Medicine, UT Southwestern and UT Houston that tracked the heart function of 13 astronauts during roughly six-month missions aboard the International Space Station.

Daily Workouts in Orbit Keep Astronaut Hearts Ready for Mars Gravity

A study of 13 astronauts on six-month International Space Station missions found that daily exercise preserved heart function, allowing their hearts to handle simulated Martian gravity as well as they handled Earth's before launch.

Exercise helps astronauts’ hearts handle months in space, boosting prospects for Mars

A trip to Mars may be more feasible than previously thought, suggests a new study led by Northwestern Medicine that tracked the heart function of 13 astronauts during roughly six-month missions aboard the International Space Station.
