Running With a Stroller: Biomechanics Reveal Lower Impact but Higher Foot-Torsion
Introduction: A Practical Trade-Off for Parents Who Run For many parents with young children, lacing up for a run means grabbing the jogging stroller along with running shoes. A recent study from Penn State Berks, published in PLOS ONE, sheds light on what happens to loading forces when runners push a stroller. The findings highlight…

Running With Stroller: Lowered Step Impact But New Biomechanical Trade-Offs
New Insights into Running With a Stroller For many parents, slipping a jogging stroller into a fitness routine is a practical way to combine training with childcare. A recent study led by researchers at Penn State Berks, published in PLOS ONE, sheds light on how stroller running changes the forces your body experiences with each…

Not all alphas: Mars crews need diverse personalities
Study explores how personality diversity could shape Mars missions A recent study from Stevens Institute of Technology suggests that the success of future crewed missions to Mars may hinge as much on human psychology as on hardware. Using advanced computer simulations, researchers tested how different dominant personality traits within a crew influence stress, health, and…

Mars Crews Need Mixed Personalities for Successful Missions
New research argues for diversity in astronaut personalities on Mars missions A new study from the Stevens Institute of Technology proposes that the most effective crews for long-duration Mars missions may not be those composed of a single dominant personality type, but rather teams that mix a range of traits. Using advanced computer simulations, researchers…
