Astronaut Kjell Lindgren exercises using the ARED The Advanced Resistive Exercise Device ( ARED ) is an exercise device designed by NASA to allow for more intense workouts in zero gravity . The device was flown to the International Space Station during STS-126 [ 1 ] and installed in 2009 to replace its inefficient predecessor, the Interim ...
The selection and training of astronauts are integrated processes to ensure the crew members are qualified for space missions. [6] The training is categorized into five objectives to train the astronauts on the general and specific aspects: basic training, advanced training, mission-specific training, onboard training, and proficiency maintenance training.

Astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams bungeed to the TVIS treadmill aboard the International Space Station. The Treadmill with Vibration Isolation Stabilization System, commonly abbreviated as TVIS, is a treadmill for use on board the International Space Station and is designed to allow astronauts to run without vibrating delicate microgravity science experiments in adjacent labs.

Astronauts burn approximately 3,500 calories per day, which is double that of an average person on land. This is due to the extra energy required by space’s harsher conditions and lower ...
The 20 g centrifuge at the NASA Ames Research Center. High-g training is done by aviators and astronauts who are subject to high levels of acceleration ('g'). It is designed to prevent a g-induced loss of consciousness (g-LOC), a situation when the action of g-forces moves the blood away from the brain to the extent that consciousness is lost.
The pioneering astronauts of the Polaris Dawn mission have a packed agenda during their five short days in space, but medical officer Anna Menon still found time to read to her children from orbit.
