Abstract：Aerobic capacity reduction during space flight might impact crewmember ability to perform prolonged tasks during and after a space flight mission.Endurance exercise with bicycle or treadmill was the main measure against the reduction of aerobic capacity.The current exercise programs had not been fully effective for the protection of crew member aerobic fitness during long-term space flight.It was necessary to optimize the exercise prescription to improve or maintain astronaut ability to perform critical tasks and eventually extend the duration of missions.The paper reviewed the application of endurance exercise protocol in manned space flight.A brief outlook about the applications of high intensity intermittent exercise was discussed and prospected.
