Gymnastics Canada Gymnastique. (2007). Long Term Athlete Development: A Sport Parent’s Guide.

Gymnastronautics hypothesizes whether:

  • Double leg circles (short term)

  • ​Motor Bar Giants (long term),

  • and Lunar Trampolines (longer term)


​ Can address the following risks of NASA Human Research Roadmap:


 

 1.    Risk of Bone Fracture due to Spaceflight-Induced Changes to Bone
 

    2.    Risk of Renal Stone Formation
 

    3.    Risk of Incompatible Vehicle/Habitat Design
 

    4.    Risk of Injury and Compromised Performance Due to EVA Operations
 

    5.    Risk of Decompression Sickness
 

    6.    Concern of Intervertebral Disc Damage upon and Immediately After Re-exposure to Gravity
 

    7.    Risk of Early Onset Osteoporosis Due to Spaceflight
 

    8.    Risk of Adverse Cognitive or Behavioral Conditions & Psychiatric Disorders
 

    9.    Risk of Impaired Performance Due to Reduced Muscle Mass, Strength, & Endurance
 

    10.    Risk of Reduced Physical Performance Capabilities Due to Reduced Aerobic Capacity
 

    11.    Risk of Orthostatic Intolerance During Re-exposure to Gravity
 

    12.    Risk of Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS)
 

    13.    Risk of Cardiac Rhythm Problems

Of course, safeguards will need to be implemented, but it would be a flippin good time
