[sci.space] Muscle atrophy in Microgravity

mcqueen@ncs.dnd.ca (Craig McQueen) (12/05/89)

     I am a systems design engineer at the University of
Waterloo. Six other students and I are involved with a workshop
project involving experiments in microgravity. The topic we are
investigating is muscle atrophy in space. At the moment we are at
the information gathering phase of the workshop. In January '90
we will start the design phase of the project. The workshop will
be completed in April '90.

     I was wondering anyone would be able to provide us with
information concerning muscle atrophy in microgravity.
Specifically, information on experiments already conducted
and planned experiments would be greatly appreciated.
Material concerning how experiments of this type are
designed and carried out would also be of assistance.

Please email direct if possible.

                                        Thanks,
                                        Craig McQueen
