At
space research centers (NASA)
What will a treadmill do at a
space research center? NASA in coordination with Cleveland Clinic
Foundation (CCF) has devised a dual track treadmill which will help the
astronauts maintain balance and coordination when they return from space
to earth.
Although the
treadmill has not been put to full fledged use as of now, the initial
tests are complete and it is already being used on trial basis.
These treadmills have been designed in such a way that each track
can be independently controlled in terms of speed, incline and height
variations. It will help improve the health of astronauts, who
sometimes
experience motion sickness, impaired motor skills, dizziness, and
decreased muscle coordination during spaceflight. Along with the typical
health benefits of treadmill exercise, it helps in improving an
astronaut's coordination and sense of balance when he/she returns to
Earth.
