  2. Closed kinetic chain exercises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_kinetic_chain_exercises

    Closed chain exercises are often compound movements, that generally incur compressive forces, while open-chain exercises are often isolation movements that promote more shearing forces. [ 1 ] CKC exercises involve more than one muscle group and joint simultaneously rather than concentrating solely on one, as many OKC exercises do (single-joint ...

  3. Physiological effects in space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiological_effects_in_space

    These alterations were chiefly manifested in modified load-related cues as reflected in the altered relative recruitment bias of flexor muscles versus extensors and fast versus slow motor unit pools. In an additional flight study (Cosmos Flight 2229) involving two rhesus monkeys, EMG recordings were obtained before, during, and after ...

  4. Orbital mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_mechanics

    Orbital mechanics or astrodynamics is the application of ballistics and celestial mechanics to the practical concerning the motion of rockets, satellites, ...

  5. Orbital maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_maneuver

    In spaceflight, an orbital maneuver (otherwise known as a burn) is the use of propulsion systems to change the orbit of a spacecraft. For spacecraft far from Earth, an orbital maneuver is called a deep-space maneuver (DSM). [1] When a spacecraft is not conducting a maneuver, especially in a transfer orbit, it is said to be coasting.

  6. Motor coordination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_coordination

    In physiology, motor coordination is the orchestrated movement of multiple body parts as required to accomplish intended actions, like walking. This coordination is achieved by adjusting kinematic and kinetic parameters associated with each body part involved in the intended movement.

  7. Locomotion in space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locomotion_in_space

    The environmental conditions in space are harsh and require extensive equipment for survival and completion of daily activities. [2] There are many environmental factors to consider both inside and outside of a spacecraft that astronauts work in. [2] These factors include but are not limited to movement during weightlessness, general equipment necessary to travel to the desired destination in ...

  8. Rotation around a fixed axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_around_a_fixed_axis

    Rotation around a fixed axis or axial rotation is a special case of rotational motion around an axis of rotation fixed, stationary, or static in three-dimensional space.This type of motion excludes the possibility of the instantaneous axis of rotation changing its orientation and cannot describe such phenomena as wobbling or precession.

  9. Orbital eccentricity can influence temperatures, but on Earth, this effect is small and is more than counteracted by other factors. [12] [13] When a meteor or spacecraft enters the atmosphere, the heat of entry is not primarily caused by friction, but by adiabatic compression of air in front of the object. [14] [15] [16]
