Title: Astronaut Charles Conrad following exercise session on bicycle ergometer
Description:
Astronaut Charles Conrad Jr., commander of the first manned Skylab mission, 
wipes perspiration from his face following an exercise session on the 
bicycle ergometer during Skylab training at JSC. Conrad is in the work and 
experiments compartment of the crew quarters of the Skylab Orbital Workshop 
(OWS) trainer at JSC. In addition to being the prime exercise for the 
crewmen, the ergometer is also used for the vector-cardiogram test and the 
metabolic activity experiment. The bicycle ergometer produces measured work 
loads for use in determining man's metabolic effectiveness.
