New Research on Muscle Loss Suggests Humans Will Really Suffer on Mars. Researchers exposed mice aboard the ISS to various levels of artificial gravity, they found that 0.67 g (67% of Earth’s gravity) is a key threshold—any gravity level lower than this caused their muscles to deteriorate.

0.33g mitigates muscle atrophy while 0.67g preserves muscle function and myofiber type composition in mice during spaceflight
Spaceflight tests reveal that 0.33g mitigates muscle loss, but 0.67g is needed to keep function, impacting future Mars missions.
