Researchers and space agencies are developing and testing next-generation compact exercise equipment designed to preserve astronaut health during future deep-space missions. In microgravity, astronauts suffer from rapid muscle atrophy and bone density loss, requiring intense daily workouts. Because future spacecraft traveling to the Moon and Mars will have much less space than the International Space Station, scientists are engineering highly compact, multi-functional “space gyms” utilizing advanced electromagnetic and flywheel technologies to keep crews fit during long-term space flight.
- Astronauts must exercise for up to two and a half hours daily in microgravity to prevent severe muscle wasting and bone density loss.
- Existing exercise machines on the International Space Station are too bulky and heavy for smaller, future deep-space transit vehicles.
- New prototype “space gyms” are being tested to provide comprehensive strength and cardiovascular training within highly restricted physical spaces.
- Key technologies being explored include flywheel systems and specialized electromagnetic resistance devices that minimize weight and volume.
- Maintaining physical fitness is a critical requirement for the success of upcoming crewed missions to the Moon and Mars.
The British Broadcasting Corporation is a British public service broadcaster headquartered at Broadcasting House in London. Originally established in 1922 as the British Broadcasting Company, it evolved into its current state with its current name on New Year’s Day 1927.

What future?
Space erg hell yeah
where our tax dollars are going 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑
The 15 minute city dwellers are going to be able to go to these gyms via their VI headsets!
Humanity is heading in the right direction at last!
ONE DAY YOU PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CHOOSE YOUR MEDICINE
–>> A full 90 per cent of the Earth's precious topsoil is likely to be at risk by 2050, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO. In a bid to protect soil globally and help farmers, the FAO warned on Wednesday that the equivalent of one soccer pitch of earth erodes, every five seconds.Jul 27, 2022..
–>> Is the Earth really overpopulated? Yes, for two main reasons. First, people are rapidly displacing wildlife species across the globe, initiating a mass extinction event. Second, we are degrading ecosystems that provide essential, irreplaceable environmental services that future generations will need to live decent lives.
–>> human(adj.)
mid-15c., humain, humaigne, "human," from Old French humain, umain (adj.) "of or belonging to man" (12c.), from Latin humanus "of man, human," also "humane, philanthropic, kind, gentle, polite; learned, refined, civilized." This is in part from PIE *(dh)ghomon-, literally "earthling, earthly being," as opposed to the gods (from root *dhghem- "earth"), but there is no settled explanation of the sound changes involved. Compare Hebrew adam "man," from adamah "ground." Cognate with Old Lithuanian žmuo (accusative žmuni) "man, male person."
–>> animal(n.)
early 14c., "any sentient living creature" (including humans), from Latin animale "living being, being which breathes," noun use of neuter of animalis (adj.) "animate, living; of the air," from anima "breath, soul; a current of air" (from PIE root *ane- "to breathe;" for sense development, compare deer).
A rare word in English before c. 1600, and not in KJV (1611). Commonly only of non-human creatures. It drove out the older beast in common usage. Used derisively of brutish humans (in which the "animal," or non-rational, non-spiritual nature is ascendant) from 1580s.
💪😮
The small impact shocks caused by the jumps are probably the kind of stimulation that the skeleton needs to not degrade. Muscle degradation has largely been solved but bone loss still happens during space missions.
Yeah, and how much musculature astronaut loose while in space… sure, sure….
Only Jesus Saves 🙏 ❤…
Interesting!
💡! A power generator on the stationary bike 👍
fake, all fakery, stop funding nasa its a total fake
Where is the news about the students killed by Ukraine today? The students were studying at a teacher training college. The Ukrainian authorities killed them in their sleep. Will you remain silent about this?
for some reason I find the rowing machine very cheesy now
