They need time to get used to the Earth's gravity after spending long periods in weightlessness.

It's one of the challenges that needs to be overcome if people were to visit/colonise Mars due to the long travel time.

Maybe they can periodically visit orbiting exercise stations that generate one standard G via centripetal force.

Attach a spinning 1g environment module to the space station in the future.

To cancel out torque they can have an equivalent mass spinning at the other end.

that is quite challenging. to obtain 1 g centripetal acceleration is not hard, to do it within the constraints of the spacecraft size such that the acceleration gradient between your head and feet is small enough to avoid disorientation is harder.
