  • Title: Artificial gravity intermittent centrifugation as a space flight countermeasure.
    Author: Vernikos J.
    Journal: J Gravit Physiol; 1997 Jul; 4(2):P13-6. PubMed ID: 11540676.
    Abstract:
    Head-down bed rest was used to simulate weightlessness in an experiment that examined variations in dose, time, and frequency of +Gz stimuli countermeasures. Results indicate that 4 hr. standing was most effective for orthostatic intolerance, walking was most effective in achieving peak oxygen consumption, 4 hr. of standing or walking had the best effect on plasma volume, and 4 hr. of walking was most effective in maintaining urinary calcium excretion.
