Male Subjects for Muscle Study

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.

Location: German Aerospace Center in Köln-Porz

Subjects:
Males between 20-35 and 60-75 years of age:

  • athletes training for sprint running or jumping athletic events
  • without regular activities in sports

Schedule: Between February and March 2021

Expense allowance: 220 € including travelling expenses

Expenditure:

  • Medical check-up and subject information, about 45 min
  • Measurements at one day, about 4.5 h

If you have any questions, please send an email to malicot@dlr.de.
