ESA Experiment Explores Electrical Muscle Stimulation for Astronaut Health

The ESA's EasyMotion-2 experiment on the International Space Station is investigating whole-body electro-myostimulation (WB-EMS) to counter muscle atrophy in astronauts. This research aims to preserve muscle tone and strength during long space missions, offering potential benefits for future lunar and Martian expeditions, as well as for patients on Earth.
