Summary
This study tests a special body suit that uses mild electric pulses to stimulate muscles during exercise on the International Space Station. Eight astronauts will wear the suit during their workouts to see if it helps prevent muscle loss and stiffness in microgravity. Researchers will compare their results with astronauts who did not use the suit.
