Exercise is important for people on Earth, but essential for astronauts who travel into space. Astronauts in space experience microgravity, and therefore do not have to use their muscles as much during everyday activities, so they begin to lose strength and their muscles become weak. To counteract these changes, astronauts must continue their aerobic and anaerobic exercises in the space environment.
In this activity, students will safely carry weighted objects from the ‘Exploration Area’ back to their ‘Base Station’, to build and improve aerobic and anaerobic fitness.
