Wondering why cycling specifically. Maybe because it’s an easiest exercise when space is limited 🤔
🥱 Having trouble getting out of bed today? 🛌 12 volunteers won't leave the bed for two whole months, not even for toilet breaks, while cycling and spinning on a centrifuge. 🚴‍♂️🔄 This pioneering bedrest study will help 🧑‍🚀 and 👴: esa.int/Science_Exploration/… 📸 by @Medes_IMPS
