Spending time in space results in a number of physiological changes that may exert a profound negative effect on astronaut health. These changes include a reduction in maximum oxygen uptake, a reduction in muscle size and strength, and a reduction in bone mineral density (BMD). One way of managing these effects is by the rigorous application of countermeasures such as exercise. During the International Space Station (ISS) era, astronauts have had a choice of exercise equipment, including the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED), the cycle ergometer, the Flywheel Exercise Device (FWED), and the inventively named Combined Operational Load-Bearing Resistance Treadmill (COLBERT, after talk show host Stephen Colbert).
