Sports Medicine Since as long as I can remember, I have continuously gone through the motion of learning a topic and moving on.

better explain previous answers or even newly proposed questions. As mentioned earlier, humans tend to feed off of each other when it comes to innovation and discoveries.

As we prepared for the eventful summer ahead, I was excited for what was in store. Towards the summer’s end, my sister began experiencing migraines a month before she was scheduled to start. For three days she experienced constant headaches and worsening balance issues to the point where she could not stand. Finally, an MRI was done and…

atrophy; loss of bone mass; and immune system changes. This paper also explores current research into preventative measures and potential treatments for these health complications. Muscle Atrophy On Earth, muscles must constantly work to support the body against the forces of gravity. However, in the zero-gravity environment of space this constant force is absent, and muscles need to work significantly less hard to perform basic functions. Without regular use and exertion, muscles weaken and…
