Your Mission: Perform a reaction time activity using a ruler to practice hand-eye coordination and concentration. In preparation for space travel, astronauts invest many hours in practicing their hand-eye reaction time. Operating the robotic arm …
Your Mission: Perform the “bear crawl” and “crab walk” to increase muscular strength and improve upper and lower body coordination. In a reduced gravity environment, astronauts are unable to walk like they do on Earth. …
Your Mission: Perform a series of somersaults on the ground to improve body coordination, flexibility, balance and strengthen your back, abdominal and leg muscles. In the microgravity environment of the International Space Station astronauts can …
Your Mission: Train with a cycle to improve leg muscles, cardio-vascular fitness and endurance. One exercise device that is regularly used by astronauts on the International Space Station is the cycle ergometer. The cycle provides …
Your Mission: Perform throwing and catching techniques on one foot to improve balance and spatial awareness. On Earth, we use a variety of cues to sense the position of our bodies, while stationary or moving. …
Your Mission: Perform jump training with a rope to improve strength and endurance. On Earth, humans experience the effects of gravity pulling on the human body which applies a constant force, or loading effect. This …
Your Mission: Perform an exercise with balls of different weights, as if you were in different gravitational conditions, to strengthen arm and torso muscles, and improve coordination. Astronauts’ training takes into account the influence of …
Your Mission: Carry weighted objects from the Exploration Area back to your Base Station to improve aerobic and anaerobic fitness.
Your Mission: Perform body-weight squats and push-ups to develop upper and lower body strength in muscles and bones. Astronauts must perform physical tasks in space that require strong muscles and bones. In a reduced gravity …
Your Mission: Assemble a puzzle quickly and correctly to understand the importance of dexterity and hand-eye coordination. When working with objects in space, astronauts must have good dexterity and hand-eye coordination and work as a …
