During long stays in space of up to six months, astronauts lose around 15% of their muscle mass and around 20-30% of their muscle's performance. This is significant damage. It's like having the muscle mass of 20 year old going in to space, and coming back with the mass of someone in their 80's.
The prescription?
A balanced exercise regimen consisting of cardiovascular and resistance training exercises to strengthen the cardiovascular system, bones and skeletal muscles.
If regular exercise can prevent this kind of deterioration in zero-gravity environment, think about what it can do for you!
