The Institute of Aerospace Medicine at the German Aerospace Center is looking for participants for a study on the connective tissue of the musculature. The aim of our MALICoT study is to improve the knowledge about the connective tissue of the muscles. The connective tissue is important for our daily activities. However, it is widely unknown how the muscle´s connective tissue is accomplishing this.
Therefore, we are looking for athletes and for people who do not do regular sports training. The results of this study will be compared to the results of astronauts.
