0g and muscle atrophy

I'm a bit of a nut for any sciency show or documentary on PBS and a while back they did one on the whole problem of living in space and its consequences for the human body<br /><br />which is good since I like to entertain the fantasy of living in space<br /><br />anyhow I guess the problem of muscle atrophy bothered me because I was laying in bed trying to stay asleep and my subconscious intruded and gave me an answer for the muscle atrophy in the SF setting<br /><br />the answer is  1/2 workout machine 1/2 exoskeleton and 1/2 video/holo game<br /><br />its bolted to the floor (0 g) and the character climbs into the rig which is much like an exoskeleton for his race. The frame actually provide resistence instead of assisting with muscle movements. the user is actually in the frame and a dozen or so cm off the deck so that they can go through a full range of motion as if they are on a planet. then the machine can have a flat screen or an immersive holo display to give the user a fully interactive environment. <br /><br />It would be possible to play games, participate in virtual reatity calistetics with the rest of your militia unit though spread out over a planet, station and several ships, even train for a new skill in the rig, all while in 0 g <br />
