Using only the evidence gathered from the activity above, predict what you think may be causing muscle loss in astronauts? - Correct Answer-Lack of loading on the body After a couple of weeks, which of the following best describes how your body changes?

  • Correct Answer-Muscle Atrophy

Take a look at the astronaut exercise plan below. What changes would you recommend based on what you now know about resistive exercise? - Correct Answer-Keep resistive exercise as is What would you do to prevent muscle loss? - Correct Answer-make sure they are doing enough weightlifting so their lower body-specifically their legs-are working hard. They need to do resistive exercise. To maintain the muscle size and volume astronauts need to work out and do resistive exercises daily. They also need an adequate supply of macronutrients such as protein to support muscle development.
