A unique feature of undisturbed space flight is vibration and weight free environments not available on Earth. On long flights, exercise and especially locomotor exercise will be required if the crew is to function in a relatively normal fashion and avoid lengthy rehabilitation on return to Earth. Exercise forces in the low frequency range can amount to 2 to 3 times crew body weight in the frequency range most critical to material science. Therefore, the amount of isolation will need to be orders of magnitude greater than present techniques. The following is a brief rationale of the need for these exercises and a description of exercise forces. Current isolation means and their deficiencies will be described, and a method capable of providing the isolation proposed and work to date will be mentioned.
