>The research adds to ongoing efforts by space agencies to protect astronauts against deconditioning or getting out of shape due to low gravity, a crucial aspect of their ability to perform spacewalks, handle equipment and repairs, and carry out other physically demanding tasks.
>The study, which shows knee cartilage in mice grew healthier following jumping exercises, appears in the journal [*npj Microgravity*](https://doi.org/10.1038/s41526-025-00458-z).
>“Since the next step in human exploration of space is going to Mars and spending long periods of time in permanent bases on the moon, cartilage damage is a really major issue that space agencies need to address despite how very poorly understood it is,“ said [Marco Chiaberge](https://physics-astronomy.jhu.edu/directory/marco-chiaberge/), a Johns Hopkins astrophysicist who led the research. „The positive effect we saw in these mice is huge, and the magnitude of it was unexpected. They can basically make their cartilage thicker if they jump. Maybe astronauts could use similar training before their flight as a preventive measure.“
I saw being a woman in space in the future. It’s a corporation not a military. They drill holes into your ankles to put in wires, and the wires connect to a belt, and the belt gives off vibrations to help you go through sleep phases properly while in deep space. And my job is to go to ships in exoplanets and work on the techy boxes with a metal tool. And sometimes they put little plants on the other planets for an experiment. I don’t know how they travel so fast.
Ok but I want more specificity on the experiments — most importantly, *did they teach those mice how to do jumping jacks?*
Wait until they find out how humans run without shoes and how that completely charges the bio-kinetics in our bodies.
No more „runner-shines“, no more damaged cartilage in the knees.
The science on that is out since the 1970s. But somehow it doesn’t permeate the public mind.
Did you ever jump and land on your heels? No, though so.
