UAE astronaut conducts cardiovascular test in space
UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi has conducted a cardiovascular experiment onboard the International Space Station (ISS) for researchers attached to the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), Simon Fraser University, and The University of North Dakota.
The cardiovascular experiment focussed on cardio breath and is a critical analysis of the impact of microgravity on cardiovascular and respiratory functions in humans.
Al Neyadi conducted the cardiovascular study in two phases. In the experiment’s first phase, Al Neyadi, a former Dubai Police helicopter pilot, pedalled a tethered exercise cycle for 25 minutes.
In the second stage of the experiment, Al Neyadi wore a custom-fitted bio-monitor vest developed for the CSA.
