Did you know that astronauts in space face challenges similar to those of people who are beginning to age on Earth?

The ASTROPOWER Project studies these similarities and will test an innovative solution: listening to the sound of muscle electrical activity during training.

And you can be part of this research!

📌 How can you participate?

You can sign up as an assistant for the training sessions.

In this role, you will:

  • Help collect physiological data (EMG, ACC, and strength).
  • Assist participants in performing power training.
  • Always work with prior training and supervision from a researcher.

📅 Commitment: 

2x a week in a total of 1 hour, during 1 month and a half.

Accompanying one of the study subjects at the building of the Almada Senior University (USALMA).

📍How to get there?

You can catch the tram (Stop: Universidade) or the bus (Stop: Monte Caparica (Fct) Rotunda):
Tram:

  • Linha 3 Cacilhas (Universidade – S.João Baptista)

Buses: 

  • 3009 Cacilhas (Terminal) (Monte Caparica (Fct) Rotunda – Av D Nuno Álv Pereira Pça S J Baptista)
  • 3022 Cacilhas (Terminal) (Monte Caparica (Fct) Rotunda – Av D Nuno Álv Pereira Pça S J Baptista)
  • 3012 Cacilhas (Terminal) ( Monte Caparica (Fct) Rotunda – Av D Nuno Álv Pereira Pça S J Baptista)

✨ What do you get out of it?

  • Credits for your mid-term internship.
  • Practical experience in collecting and analyzing biosignals.
  • Training in physiological data processing.
  • Monitoring the progress and preparing a performance report for the elderly athletes assigned to you.
  • Direct contact with an area of Biomedical Engineering that combines sports and biosignals.
