Application of strength from different positions: This subcategory contains to nail a nail in a wooden plate, bending and standing up without support and repeating those steps several times.
Short resting position: In this test, the Analog Astronaut assumes a resting position, holds it for 5 minutes and stands up without support. This procedure is repeated several times.
Long resting position: In this test, the Analog Astronaut assumes a resting position, holds it for 10 minutes and stands up without support. This procedure is repeated several times.
