This one may be a snoozer for some of you, so save it for when you can’t sleep!  But since lots of this stuff crosses over to my other life, we can review the basics with an unbiased look (no subsidies from drug companies).

1.  What is your cholesterol level at?

Everyone, experienced runners or those contemplating to start, should know this if you are a:

-  Man over forty.

-  Woman over fifty or post menopausal.

-  Adult who’s that’s have/had heart disease.

Why?  Because more people die of heart disease than anything else, and there is a very influential genetic component to your cholesterol level.  Get it checked every five years.  More than twice as many women die from heart disease than ALL cancers and strokes combined.

2.  How’s your weight?

Weight control is definitely one of the reasons I run.  Your weight does matter.  It affects your self-esteem, health, sleep, quality of life, and running performance.  Every pound I lose I can easily notice an improvement in my running.  If you are thinking about participating in any ultra-endurance events like a marathon or triathlon, your weight will have a heavy role on your performance, ability to disperse heat, and to avoid injuries.

The optimum weight for competitive athletes is: men 8-12% fat, women 10-15% fat.  I can test everyone again at the AGM or a social.  When goal setting, it is very important to set realistic and achievable weight goals.  Always go by percentage of body fat and not weight.  If you are happy with cruising along and your current weight is fine, than disregard.  But if you have a certain race in mind to PR in than every pound lost will make you faster.

Identify and develop effective countermeasures for maintaining/improving physical fitness during long-duration missions.

The first part of meeting this objective is to identify the approach to physical fitness that is most effective in protecting muscle, bone, and the cardiovascular system.  Clearly, any given modality that is effective in protecting one system at the cost of the other systems is not optimal. Systems to investigate include the treadmill, ergometer, resistance training device, and artificial gravity.  After the best approach is identified, critical studies need to be conducted examining the efficacy of specific devices such as the flywheel exercise device.

Studies should examine how the loss of physical fitness impacts performance while in an extravehicular activity (EVA) configuration.  In the absence of resistance-training countermeasures, it seems reasonable to assume that missions of moderate to long duration will produce significant atrophy and loss of strength and endurance.  Will these losses be compounded when wearing a spacesuit?  This is an important issue that needs to be addressed to properly appreciate how the loss of physical fitness will impact overall functional capability. Hence, long-term bed-rest studies should be used in combination with spacesuit stress tests to identify.
