Human Locomotion under Reduced Gravity Conditions: Biomechanical and Neurophysiological Considerations
Figure 5
Running on water at simulated reduced gravity. The blue curve represents the net vertical impulse available to run on water, as predicted by the model used by Minetti et al. [53]. Bars represent the number of subjects, out of 6, capable of avoiding sinking at different simulated gravity values. Both variables show that 22% of Earth gravity () is the maximum gravity at which humans can run on water, when assisted by a small rigid fin (as illustrated in the left panel).
