The Enjoyability of Physical Exercise: Exergames and Virtual Reality as New Ways to Boost Psychological and Psychosocial Health in Astronauts. A Prospective and Perspective View

Abstract: On Earth, physical activity plays a tremendous role to preserve and improve the physical, psychological, and social well-being of people. The enjoyability, the appreciation, and the variability of the exercises are fundamental factors for the production of lifestyle benefits. Currently, exercise countermeasures for astronauts during long-duration missions focus more on the physiological side, frequently overlooking the relevant psychosocial one. Exergames are a form of physical activity that have taken hold in… Show more

“…Thus, this paper was not about a philosophical approach of "space and human research" but hypothesised that as space-travel time exhibited a long-term prospect for Moon habitation projects (2025-2030) and the colonisation of Mars (2033Mars ( -2040, the psychiatric well-being of astronauts should be considered at the top of the list for physical assistance with space medicine (drug and therapy) [17]. If past astronauts' psycho-religious experiences (canonical texts, private services, casual fellowship (with therapeutic recreations), sacred music and meditation (prayer)) did not have a negative impact, it would be economical to regard the prosocial nature of personal spirituality alongside advanced entertainment systems (exergames within VR/AR), Netflix, (AI) pets and private hobbies (reading, simple sports, and drawing) [78,79]. An astronaut's attitudes of positivity, confidence, assurance, and trust, that are the socio-cultural elements of religious psychiatry, should not be underestimated as a mental tonic for communal sustainability during long-term space exploration [51,[80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92].…”

“…For example, telepharmacy services, facilitated by digital platforms for teleassistance and pharmaceutical teleconsulting, are expanding and have intriguing applications for spaceflight [3]. Other technologies, such as exergames and virtual reality, have the potential to promote psychological and psychosocial health by immersing astronauts in stimulating surroundings and scenarios [4]. Furthermore, biomedical hardware originally developed for terrestrial applications has the potential to be utilised in space environments.…”
