The aim of the study presented here is to assess the effects of exoskeleton training on performance in a real hypergravity situation. In particular, it will analyze fine motor control, autonomic nervous system regulation and metabolic responses. To this end, the study will compare two groups during a pointing exercise in a centrifuge (hypergravity). One group will have been trained to do this exercise using an exoskeleton, while the other will have been familiarized with the task without the exoskeleton. It will assess whether the exoskeleton can be an effective and accessible training tool for astronauts.
