It's called "Isometrics" and yes it does. It has been used for centuries and the principle is to use your own muscles against one another as opposing forces. The Astronauts used Isometrics in Space in the early Space program and ever since due to space (room) logistics.
Edit: Isometrics is part of an overall regimen that is prepared for the astronauts and overseen by the Agency. It is not all inclusive
