Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following accommodations on the space station is used by astronauts to combat the effects of microgravity on their bones?
A
special handles
B
oxygen systems
C
exercise equipment
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Research on Earth and on the space station has demonstrated that high intensity resistance workouts are most effective at reducing bone and muscle loss. The Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED) on the space station allows astronauts to perform high intensity workouts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Preventing Bone Loss in Space Flight with Prophylactic Use of Bisphosphonate: Health Promotion of the Elderly by Space Medicine Technologies. An astronaut performing exercise in the International Space Station.

Detailed explanation-3: -Provide food that provides astronauts with more energy. Outfit the space station with exercise equipment. Increase the oxygen levels inside the space station. Design spacesuits that are lighter and easier to wear.

Detailed explanation-4: -Spacesuits enable humans to survive and work in space. None of these protections are available in space. To survive there, astronauts must wear an extravehicular mobility unit (EMU)-commonly called a spacesuit.

Detailed explanation-5: -Astronauts typically have an allocated exercise period of two hours a day in space to counteract these effects; this time not only includes cardiovascular exercise and weight-lifting, but also time to change clothes and set up or take down equipment.

Detailed explanation-6: -They attend classes on shuttle systems, in basic science and technology: mathematics, geology meteorology, guidance and navigation, oceanography, orbital dynamics, astronomy, physics, and materials processing are among the subjects.

Detailed explanation-7: -Without the proper diet and exercise routine, astronauts also lose muscle mass in microgravity faster than they would on Earth. Moreover, the fluids in the body shift upward to the head in microgravity, which may put pressure on the eyes and cause vision problems.
