Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on September 3, 2009.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the treadmill COLBERT (Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill) aboard the International Space Station was named after political satirist Stephen Colbert?

Comments[edit]

A few comments:

1) The title of the article says "Treadmill with Vibration Isolation System" but the system is called "Treadmill with Vibration Isolation and Stabilization" (see, for example, the title of reference #4).

2) This article is really describing two completely different treadmills; TVIS and T2 (COLBERT). Would it be worthwhile to split it into two articles? The two devices have important differences (such as active vs passive VIS, which is touched on in the article) and histories.

3) The discussion of SAS seems superfluous, because the treadmill doesn't really aid in preventing or resolving them. Use of the treadmill can help maintain cardiovascular performance and lower body muscle mass, but other exercise machines (resistive exercise devices and the CEVIS cycle ergometer) seem to do better at those functions. The treadmill really shines when you look at bone density, especially in the lower body (hips, legs, feet). It is also the only exercise device on the ISS that can maintain the neuromuscular and sensorimotor functions that enable the body to walk. This last part (about walking) is especially important because crews landing on Soyuz capsules must be able to extract themselves from the capsule and get away from it in certain off-nominal landing scenarios. See (http://journalofcosmology.com/Mars147.html) and (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11541918) as examples/citations. I would propose a better treatment of the "Exercise" section with some of this information.

1) You're right. My bad. Corrected. :)
2) Correct, but... their very similar, and I don't see splitting them up into separate articles as being beneficial. Doing so would create quite a bit of duplicate material, if nothing else. We can, should, and... I think that we do describe the differences, don't we? If there's missing information then it should certainly be added.
3) I tend to agree. "superfluous" may be a bit harsh, but the topic has always seemed only marginally related to me.
Thanks for the feedback! Feel free to work on the article yourself, especially in the the Exercise section. Regards,

What Is This I Don't Even[edit]

That first paragraph is possibly the most confusing thing I have ever read on Wikipedia. It seems to be simultaneously claiming that the COLBERT both is and is not derived from the TVIS treadmill.Clayhalliwell (talk) 22:08, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
