Ken Bowersox Jogs on Treadmill
Full Description:
Expedition 6 commander, Ken Bowersox, jogs on a treadmill in the Zvezda service module aboard the International Space Station (ISS). To obtain data for the FOOT experiment, short for Foot Reaction Forces During Space flight, Bowersox is wearing the Lower Extremity Monitoring suit. The suit was designed to measure stress on lower extremity bones and muscles during everyday activities. In microgravity, stress on the bones and muscles of the legs and feet is greatly reduced compared with stress under the normal gravity of Earth.
