China's Tiangong Space Station is equipped with cutting-edge devices to help maintain the well-being of taikonauts during long-term space missions. Taikonauts require one to two hours of exercise daily to counteract the effects of microgravity, which can cause muscle loss, abnormal heart rates, and immune system disorders. The three-module space station has fitness areas with rowing machines, treadmills, and resistance devices to enable taikonauts to stay healthy in zero gravity.
