basically there are two types of exercise that will provide for extended 202 00:06:15,019 --> 00:06:15,029 exercise that will provide for extended 203 00:06:15,029 --> 00:06:17,779 exercise that will provide for extended duration flight aerobic exercise which 204 00:06:17,779 --> 00:06:17,789 duration flight aerobic exercise which 205 00:06:17,789 --> 00:06:18,730 duration flight aerobic exercise which will be used with cardiovascular 206 00:06:18,730 --> 00:06:18,740 will be used with cardiovascular 207 00:06:18,740 --> 00:06:21,589 will be used with cardiovascular conditioning and anaerobic exercise will 208 00:06:21,589 --> 00:06:21,599 conditioning and anaerobic exercise will 209 00:06:21,599 --> 00:06:24,410 conditioning and anaerobic exercise will be used for muscle and bone conditioning 210 00:06:24,410 --> 00:06:24,420 be used for muscle and bone conditioning 211 00:06:24,420 --> 00:06:26,640 be used for muscle and bone conditioning providing exercise training in the 212 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:26,650 providing exercise training in the 213 00:06:26,650 --> 00:06:28,770 providing exercise training in the microgravity environment will provide us 214 00:06:28,770 --> 00:06:28,780 microgravity environment will provide us 215 00:06:28,780 --> 00:06:32,220 microgravity environment will provide us a tremendous challenge without gravity 216 00:06:32,220 --> 00:06:32,230 a tremendous challenge without gravity 217 00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:34,770 a tremendous challenge without gravity acting on the body we're going to have 218 00:06:34,770 --> 00:06:34,780 acting on the body we're going to have 219 00:06:34,780 --> 00:06:36,630 acting on the body we're going to have design restraint systems which will 220 00:06:36,630 --> 00:06:36,640 design restraint systems which will 221 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,430 design restraint systems which will actually hold the astronaut to the 222 00:06:38,430 --> 00:06:38,440 actually hold the astronaut to the 223 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,180 actually hold the astronaut to the exercise equipment with extended 224 00:06:42,180 --> 00:06:42,190 exercise equipment with extended 225 00:06:42,190 --> 00:06:44,070 exercise equipment with extended duration missions we're concerned about 226 00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:44,080 duration missions we're concerned about 227 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,110 duration missions we're concerned about the psychological welfare of the crew 228 00:06:46,110 --> 00:06:46,120 the psychological welfare of the crew 229 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,800 the psychological welfare of the crew and the physiological aspects for this 230 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:49,810 and the physiological aspects for this 231 00:06:49,810 --> 00:06:51,900 and the physiological aspects for this reason we have designed a motivational 232 00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:51,910 reason we have designed a motivational 233 00:06:51,910 --> 00:06:53,910 reason we have designed a motivational system to be used in conjunction with 234 00:06:53,910 --> 00:06:53,920 system to be used in conjunction with 235 00:06:53,920 --> 00:07:00,120 system to be used in conjunction with the exercise facility exercise in space 236 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:00,130 the exercise facility exercise in space 237 00:07:00,130 --> 00:07:02,610 the exercise facility exercise in space is more than staying in condition for 238 00:07:02,610 --> 00:07:02,620 is more than staying in condition for 239 00:07:02,620 --> 00:07:05,640 is more than staying in condition for the return to Earth's gravity it is the 240 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:05,650 the return to Earth's gravity it is the 241 00:07:05,650 --> 00:07:07,500 the return to Earth's gravity it is the key to good health over prolonged 242 00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:07,510 key to good health over prolonged 243 00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:13,050 key to good health over prolonged periods of weightlessness as part of the 244 00:07:13,050 --> 00:07:13,060 periods of weightlessness as part of the 245 00:07:13,060 --> 00:07:15,960 periods of weightlessness as part of the crew health care system the exercise 246 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:15,970 crew health care system the exercise 247 00:07:15,970 --> 00:07:18,330 crew health care system the exercise countermeasures facility is being 248 00:07:18,330 --> 00:07:18,340 countermeasures facility is being 249 00:07:18,340 --> 00:07:20,700 countermeasures facility is being developed today to provide an exercise 250 00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:20,710 developed today to provide an exercise 251 00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:23,520 developed today to provide an exercise program that will improve pre-flight in 252 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:23,530 program that will improve pre-flight in 253 00:07:23,530 --> 00:07:26,160 program that will improve pre-flight in flight and post-flight physical fitness 254 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:26,170 flight and post-flight physical fitness 255 00:07:26,170 --> 00:07:32,420 flight and post-flight physical fitness for tomorrow's astronauts 256 00:07:32,420 --> 00:07:32,430 257 00:07:32,430 --> 00:07:34,490 you
