   Type of exercise: Cardiovascular, muscular and skeletal. Special features: A harness connected to a treadmill apply a load to the shoulders and hips based on the astronaut's body weight. At the start of a mission, the load is set at 60% of the astronaut's body weight. The load is increased throughout the mission until it is at 85% of body weight.

   Can astronauts exercise in space?

   • The International Space Station is equipped with three machines designed to give astronauts that full-body workout: a bicycle, a treadmill, and a weightlifting machine called ARED, for Advanced Resistive Exercise Device. Each machine is specially designed for space, since normal gym equipment would be useless in microgravity.
