Exposure to microgravity imposes changes on the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems leading to decreases in aerobic capacity, muscular strength, and muscular fatigue (1). Anti-gravity muscles, those that play a postural role in a standard gravity environment such as the soleus and quadriceps, are most affected by microgravity (2) with nearly all musculature affected with extended spaceflight (3). The multi-mode exercise device (M-MED) is a gravity independent device that provides both high force resistance type and low force aerobic type modes of exercise. Consequently, the M-MED has the ability to enhance both skeletal muscle function through resistance training exercises as well …

Introduction: A proposed mechanism of shoulder injuries is imbalances in the strength of the shoulder muscles, however, the effects of fatigue on these imbalances are unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of isokinetic-induced fatigue on the development of shoulder muscle imbalances using both the conventional and functional ratio.
