CU-Boulder -- A new CU-Boulder study of a space-age, low-gravity training machine led by Associate Professor Rodger Kram, shows the machine significantly reduced impacts on muscles and joints of study subjects. A University of Colorado at Boulder study of a space-age, low-gravity training machine used by several 2008 Olympic runners showed it reduced impacts on muscles and joints by nearly half when subjects ran at the equivalent of 50 percent of their body weight.
