Astronaut Nick Hague exercises on the advanced resistive exercise device

iss072e126509 (Oct. 29, 2024) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 72 Flight Engineer Nick Hague exercises on the advanced resistive exercise device (ARED) aboard the International Space Station's Tranquility module. The ARED mimics the inertial forces of lifting free weights on Earth to maintain muscle health during long-term space missions. During his exercise session, Hague wore Bio-Monitor, a garment and headband set outfitted with sensors to collect physiological data and minimally interfere with space station life. Hague wore the garment 48 hours as part of Vascular Aging, a study that monitors an astronaut’s cardiovascular health in space.
