View of treadmill-like exercise device developed for Skylab 4 crewmen
Description
A close-up view of the foot of Scientist-Astronaut William E. Thonton as he demonstrates the use of a treadmill-like exercise device developed for maintaining the leg and back muscles of the Skylab 4 crewmen. The treadmill device consists of a Teflon-coated aluminum plate or sheet bolted to the floor of the Skylab Orbital Workshop. The astronaut will wear the bicycle ergometer harness while exercising. Bungee cords attached to the floor and to the harness will supply the downward pressure or force for the back and leg muscles. The astronaut's feet will slide over the Teflon-coated plate as he "marches in place.

Astronaut Charles Conrad following exercise session on bicycle ergometer
Description
Astronaut Charles Conrad Jr., commander of the first manned Skylab mission, wipes perspiration from his face following an exercise session on the bicycle ergometer during Skylab training at JSC. Conrad is in the work and experiments compartment of the crew quarters of the Skylab Orbital Workshop (OWS) trainer at JSC. In addition to being the prime exercise for the crewmen, the ergometer is also used for the vector-cardiogram test and the metabolic activity experiment. The bicycle ergometer produces measured work loads for use in determining man's metabolic effectiveness.

Full Description
This chart details Skylab's Vectorcardiogram experiment and facility, a medical study to measure the activity of the heart by recording electric signals (vectorcardiographic potentials) of each astronaut during preflight, inflight, and post-flight periods and obtain information on changes in heart functions induced by flight conditions. Vectorcardiograms were taken with a bicycle ergometer (part of Experiment M171) at regular intervals throughout the mission while the crewmen were at rest, and before, during, and after specific exercise periods. This instrument enabled an astronaut to exercise at selected levels of energy consumption. The Marshall Space Flight Center had program management responsibility for the development of Skylab hardware and experiments.

Full Description
To minimize the effects of weightlessness and partial gravity, astronauts use several counter measures to maintain health and fitness. One counter measure is exercise to help reduce or eliminate muscle atrophy and bone loss, and to improve altered cardiovascular function. This video shows astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) using the stationary Cycle/ Ergometer Vibration Isolation System (CVIS), the Treadmill Vibration Isolation System (TVIS), and the resistance exercise device. These technologies and activities will be crucial to keeping astronauts healthy and productive during the long missions to the Moon. Mars, and beyond.
