  • Title: [Biomedical problems of artificial gravity: overview and challenge].
    Author: Zhang LF.
    Journal: Space Med Med Eng (Beijing); 2001 Feb; 14(1):70-4. PubMed ID: 11712562.
    Abstract:
    The limitations of the currently used exercise-based countermeasures and the scientific rationale for the gravity-based countermeasures are addressed. Then, an overview of the physiological effects and requirements for the two types of artificial gravity (AG), i.e., the continuous AG provided by full-time spinning of the entire space system/habitat and the intermittent AG by incorporating a short-arm centrifuge into the spacecraft, is presented. Finally, significance and challenge faced in future research on biochemical problems of artificial gravity are discussed.
