Forget moon walking. Scientists want to give moon running a try 

The work aims to counteract low gravity's effects on the body 

In this gif, a man in a white shirt and hat is running along the interior wall of a wooden cylinder in an attempt to emulate low-gravity exercise on the moon.

Exercise physiologist Gaspare Pavei races around the interior of a structure called the Wall of Death, generating enough centrifugal force to keep him on the wall. The technique could one day be helpful for people living on the moon.
