Would a zero gravity game with a high mass be an effective way to keep on shape in space?

[Betonhaus]

Like say you had something in space the size of a basketball court, but completely criss-crossed with strong ropes you could grab onto and swing from at any point, and you had a sand-filled ball with a mass approximately 200lbs or the average weight of the players that you could only touch with your feet, would that be an effective way to enough exercise in to keep your muscles from atrophing? You'd have a game where you would basically try to get the ball to a goal on the other side, constantly using the ropes to brace yourself as you push down on the ball on the direction you wanted it to go.

no.

 

[Carlos Thin]

Isn't this used in Ender's Game?

In real life, astronauts basically use threadmills where they hold their weight against the mill, sort of like doing a handstand and walking at the same time. I'm pretty sure the ISS is smaller than a basketball court.

 

[Internet-Based Lobotomy]

Just wrap yourself in resistance bands.

 

[MadStan]

No.

Nothing would be better than the constant effect of centripetal force created by centrifugal force of a rotating disc. the constant pressure would be more than adequate to look after the physical shape of astronauts.

The reason why it isn't done is it is cheaper to just rotate astronauts every 6-12 months than it is to spend that kind of money on their health and safety.

It has been technically possible for a long time, but is expensive. Astronauts are not that expensive.

No, humans can't survive in space or off Earth. We are specifically made to be here on this planet. We will never leave. People talking about space travel are retards or people living a delusion. It's all a waste of money.

Better question is how does low gravity effects utero and childhood development.

You need to create resistance for exercise so you need to get whatever you push against to push back. Basically every space exercise uses elastic bands to give you something to push against. Theoretically if you get a ball heavy enough in microgravity to pull down on your feet while hanging from a rope it will work but a ball weighing 200 pounds in space would be several times bigger than the space station. A more realistic idea would be swinging from ropes while having bands pulling down on your legs and using a regular ball.

Your soul is weighed down by gravity and you will never ascended into a newtype.

Humans will never survive in space. There is nowhere else to go. Traveling into deep space will remain an activity only in science fiction for humans. You aren't going to be able to run and hide on some other planet. People should spend more time thinking about how to solve the problems here. You can't escape.

I have no idea where you got that calculation from. mass is constant, a 200lb ball will still have the same momentum and inertia as on earth, just with less deflection due to gravity or friction from the ground

Worded it retarded, I meant for a ball to exert the same force on you in space unassisted as a 200Ib ball does on earth you'd need a big fucking ball, for the specific calculations yeah straight out my ass but I'm sure it'd be pretty fucking big.
Mass is always constant but without gravity's acceleration there's very little force acting on anything because force is mass time acceleration.

 

[Dagoth AMOGUS]

When I think of how much influence the moon has on people, I think humans born on mars may become retarded or so lacking in basic humanity in undiscovered ways.

we also have to spread the word of God on other planets, too. God saved everyone, and so everyone has to know about it.

That's lead me to the horrifying idea of what would a crack addicted Xenomorph look like and what would it do to secure its next hit.

It would work, but it's hard to justify dedicating that much space to it.
"Mass approxiomately 200lbs" is like saying "add two meters of time." You mean "Mass 100kg."

Nothing would be better than the constant effect of centripetal force created by centrifugal force of a rotating disc. the constant pressure would be more than adequate to look after the physical shape of astronauts.

We don't know that. We know how people react to one gravity, we know how people react to microgravity, we have no idea how people would respond to a long period of rotation or gravity less than one.

 

[oldTireWater]

I think there would be benefit to constantly exerting force to change the direction of an object with a lot of inertia.

However, I think it would be an outstanding way to get injured.

 

[Fastest Hand In The East]

If I understand correctly the best (only?) way to efficiently exersise in no gravity is by using expanders and other rubber or spring based equipment that creates a counter-force you must overcome.
