Abstract

Physical exercise is an important countermeasure during Space missions. Since exercising requires motor skills, this chapter reviews the known deficits of motor skills in weightlessness and points out how preflight mental practice might improve motor skills in weightlessness and thus increase the efficiency of onboard workouts.
