Subjects are able to successfully perform locomotion exercise on the BD-1 treadmill in weightlessness. The BD-1 bungee system has limited adjustability and provides higher loading for small subjects and lower loading for larger subjects. Some subjects have difficulty reaching and maintaining higher speeds starting at around 14 km/h. The ground reaction force profile for BD-1 locomotion shows peak propulsive forces comparable to 1g, but the heel strike peak appears to be absent during running on the BD-1 in weightlessness. These observations have implications for exercise prescriptions for BD-1 treadmill use on-board ISS.
