Forschen und entdecken - auf dem Weg zur Basisstation

In unserer heutigen Mission arbeiteten wir wie auf dem Mond. Wir mussten schwere Gegenstände vom Forschungsgelände zur Basisstation tragen, um unsere Fitness zu verbessern. Davor und danach konnten wir an unserem Puls beobachten, wie unser Körper auf die Arbeit reagiert.
Bei anaeroben Aktivitäten (Heben unserer Schultasche) erzeugt unser Körper Energie ohne die Hilfe von Sauerstoff. Beim langen Gehen wird mehr Sauerstoff verbraucht.

Because on every planet, the gravity that astronauts find is different, they are trained to get used to it!
So, we trained like astronauts do, improving our coordination, our heart and the muscles of our hands.
We have completed our 5th mission. Being equipped with the experience and the knowledge we acquired, having trained like astronauts, we are a step closer to traveling to Space.

In Space astronauts float, so the brain finds a way to unify all sensory information to locate the body's orientation.
So we played with balls and improved our balance and perception of space.
In this mission, we enjoyed ourselves and laughed a lot, as we trained like astronauts, although we were struggling to balance on one leg!

Having done the two previous exercises and with our increased stamina as a stepping stone, we started our next mission, where we initially performed squats and then push-ups.
Using positive reinforcement, especially with the push-ups, we managed to successfully complete the mission, although it was quite difficult for us.

The goal of this mission was to strengthen our heart and bones.
We started, warming up and continued with skipping ropes, increasing little by little repetitions and time.
At first, it seemed easy to us, but we gradually began to tire, sweat and observe our endurance decline.
Nevertheless, we were able to complete the mission and prepare for the next one!
