I'm uncertain what the question means. Astronauts do not normally 'train' while in space. They train in preparation for space. Assuming that is what the question means:

There are two ways astronauts train for weightlessness. Neither is satisfactory.

* They train it a place called the WIF or Water Immersion Facility. You can think of this as a swimming pool where the astronauts and the equipment they handle are made neutrally buoyant. That is, heavy or light material is attached so they neither float nor sink in water, but remain suspended in the water. The resistance of the water on movement and the fact that your internal organs still feel the pull of gravity limit it's value for simulating weightlessness in space. * They ride on an airplane that makes zero-g parabolic flights (visit link below). The airplane (called variously, the Vomit Comet, the Weightless Wonder, etc.) climes to a peak then allows itself to fall for about 30 seconds. When you are falling you are weightless, so this accurately simulates the weightlessness of space. But, but the short periods and the high forces when the plane pulls out of the fall make it of limited value for training.

Why do you need spacesuit and oxygen tank?

Spacesuits and oxygen tanks are needed in space because there is no atmosphere to provide oxygen for astronauts to breathe. Spacesuits also protect astronauts from extreme temperatures, radiation, and micrometeoroids. Without these, astronauts would not be able to survive in the harsh conditions of space.


Why do astronauts need to go to the hospital?

Most astronauts have to go to the hospital anyways for a check up before they leave for space. Some astronauts get hurt or injured n space and may need to get tothe hospital when they return. When astronauts get back they have an examination too. Astronauts are highly trained, but they are still human and can get sick or injured like anyone else.
