Shenzhou 13 has been in orbit for more than two months. Because human bones no longer have to bear as much pressure as on the earth in a weightless state, the slow loss of calcium from bones will cause osteoporosis.
During this time, astronauts also intensified space exercises to combat the effects of weightlessness on the body.
In the picture, Wang Yaping, an astronaut of the Shenzhou 13 crew, is wearing a pink sports jacket and pink vest, black sports pants, and a sportswear that is very youthful and beautiful. In order to combat the physiological effects of weightlessness, astronauts need to exercise every day. Wang Yaping chose to use a space bike for exercise. Regarding the use of this set of equipment, in the recent Tiangong classroom activities, she also introduced, this time she did not choose the handstand exercise action, but used the same riding action as the ground to exercise the lower limbs.
People can also sweat when exercising in space, and after a period of riding, Wang Yaping's forehead has sweated, and she took a towel to wipe sweat on her hands at any time. The red sneakers worn by Wang Yaping are also specially made for the purpose of sports on the space station: from this lens, it can be seen that there is a card slot at the bottom of the shoes, a design that ensures that the shoes can maintain a stable connection with the pedals of the bicycle. You can also take it off the pedal whenever you need it.
Astronaut Zhai Zhigang also carried out exercise activities, and he prefers space running platforms. He wears a set of light blue sportswear, which is the same as the pink sportswear worn by Wang Yaping from the style. Astronaut Ye Guangfu exercised in front of the human system research cabinet, holding a stretch belt in his hand and paying attention to the parameters on the screen in front of him at any time.
We know that the Shenzhou 13 group will fly in orbit for up to 6 months. The study found that astronauts have been on missions in space for a long time, and in a state of weightlessness, human bones do not have to bear so much pressure on the earth, and the slow loss of calcium from bones will cause osteoporosis. As the blood distribution and lung expansion capacity of the lungs are affected, the capacity of the lungs also decreases.
In order to stay healthy, astronauts will use many methods to combat the physiological effects of weightlessness, and exercise is an important part. On the other hand, the longer astronauts stay in space, the more data indicators of physical changes in the space environment will be more and more, which will be more conducive to scientists to conduct research and prepare for future long-term space flights.
