#2Would running prevent deconditioning in muscles that aren't stressed by running?

#3For the life of me I can't visualize how this would with in practice at all.

Running in a circle like this would temporarily give the impression of higher gravity which would affect all muscles.

It would look a lot like the circular running track in SkyLab:

That makes sense, thanks. So the claim here is that exposure to a force similar to Earth gravity for "a few laps a day" would prevent/reduce whole-body deconditioning?
I guess that makes sense too, since a few reps of weightlifting every couple days is enough to trigger muscle growth and bone densification.
