Exercise Equipment



Exercise equipment: Prolonged exposure to the microgravity environment of space led to research on "cardiovascular deconditioning," the potential deterioration of an astronaut's cardiovascular system.

The equipment promotes cardiovascular fitness and muscular strength through closed-chain kinetic and plyometric exercises.
