Could one become stronger by living in 2g?
- heavenlyblue 3y agowould that be similar to weari nb a backpack having weight same to your body?
- reportgunner 3y agoNot too similar, imagine all the liquids in your body while running at 2g.
- stoneman24 3y agoTo echo some of the points from the aurora book, I think that the human body is really well optimised for 1G environments. We know that there are issues in zero gravity. As you adapt to 2G, you may well get stronger but the stress and strains may have a severe effect on health, life expectancy. Hate to think about the effects on your blood pressure etc Your great grand kids might eventually cope.
- narag 3y agoThat's actually seen in anime. In Dragon Ball Z, Goku trained in 100 G. I remember thinking it was clever. It reminded me of Spain national football team training for some weeks in La Paz previous to Mexico World Cup in 1986. The idea is enduring harder conditions (> altitude -> less oxygen) to overcompensate.
