Abstract

Current exercise systems for space, which attempt to maintain performance, are unable to generate cardiovascular and musculoskeletal loads similar to those on Earth [1, 2]. The purpose of our research is to evaluate the use of lower body negative pressure (LBNP) treadmill exercise to prevent deconditioning during simulated microgravity.
