Astronauts, pilots, truck drivers, teachers and students have something in common: All are at risk for impaired cognitive abilities because of stress or sleep deprivation. Whether in space or on Earth, certain cognitive abilities, such as working memory, reaction time and problem solving, may decrease because of stress and sleep loss. Join NASA TV this month to view research conducted on being fit, staying fit and being healthy. During the week of
Feb. 14-20, 2010, learn more about muscles, bones and physical activity. Find out why fitness is the key to space exploration and check out the Presidential Physical Fitness Award.
