| Task Description: |
Exploration class missions including Artemis and beyond are required to have an exercise device that is lightweight and has a small footprint. This has resulted in the development of exercise devices that are motorized and flywheel-based to provide both aerobic and resistive training on one platform. These devices provide a variety of full body resistance exercise options as well as aerobic rowing and cycling, but no treadmill. Because a treadmill has been available for use on the International Space Station (ISS) since 2001, we do not understand what the effect of removing the treadmill will have on muscle performance, aerobic fitness, bone health, sensorimotor performance, or psychological health. Specific Aims: 1) We aim to quantify the effect of cycle ergometry and resistive exercise only, throughout an entire spaceflight mission on muscle performance, aerobic fitness, bone health, sensorimotor performance, or psychological health by removing the treadmill portion of exercise on ISS and replacing it with additional time on the ISS cycle ergometer (CEVIS), as prescribed by the astronaut trainers, while keeping exercise on the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED) the same. 2) We aim to quantify the effectiveness of the European Enhanced Exploration Exercise Device (E4D) during an entire spaceflight mission on bone, muscle, aerobic, and sensorimotor health and performance by having crewmembers utilize the EED exclusively. |
