On the reverse side, I've always wondered if being in a weightless environment makes your muscles feel great[0], since they aren't working against gravity. Over the years, gravity can create lots of problems for posture, which is why swimming (which lessen the effects of gravity) feels great.
[0] I'm using "Feel" in a relative context, since muscle weakness/wasting will not feel good once you're back in a non-weightless environment.
- kbutler 11y agoMy experience with swimming is that the drag from the resistant medium outweighs the perceived "lift" from buoyancy. I expect the disorientation, nausea, etc., would outweigh any short term muscle-feel effects.
