Abstract

Long-duration microgravity induces pronounced musculoskeletal (especially lower-limb) and systemic cardiovascular deconditioning. We evaluate a combined countermeasure, artificial gravity (AG) via a short-arm, constant-radius centrifuge, lower-body negative pressure (LBNP), and resistive exercise (RE), to mitigate physiological and structural deconditioning in spaceflight analogs.

Mitigating Spaceflight Deconditioning with a Combined Lower-Body Countermeasure

Long-duration microgravity induces pronounced musculoskeletal (especially lower-limb) and systemic cardiovascular deconditioning. We evaluate a combined countermeasure, artificial gravity (AG) via a short-arm, constant-radius centrifuge, lower-body negative pressure (LBNP), and resistive exercise (RE), to mitigate physiological and structural deconditioning in spaceflight analogs.
