      There has been a lot of research on this topic, and today there is a great system of exercises to keep people healthy in space. On the space station there is a weight machine (uses resistance), spinning bike, running treadmill, and there was a rowing machine. The crew must exercise for 2 hours each day. Even after a year in space, only a few hours are needed to adjust to life back on Earth again! Sport medicine has really advanced.
