  • NASA's SpaceX Crew-10 astronauts will test innovative exercise methods to prepare for deep-space missions where bulky gym equipment won't fit. The Zero T2 study removes treadmills from workouts to see if astronauts can stay strong without them.

NASA's innovative space workout experiment, known as the Functional Resistive Exercise Device (FRED), is designed to keep astronauts fit in the microgravity environment of space, where traditional exercise equipment like treadmills is impractical. This device uses vacuum cylinders to provide resistance, allowing astronauts to perform strength training exercises that simulate the effects of gravity on muscles and bones. The experiment, conducted on the International Space Station, not only aims to maintain astronaut health during long-duration space missions but also has potential applications on Earth. By eliminating the need for heavy, bulky equipment, FRED could revolutionize fitness routines for people with limited space or mobility, offering a compact, effective workout solution that could change the way fitness is approached globally.
