  • Title: Bed-rest studies for the International Space Station.
    Author: Schmitt D, Elmann-Larsen B.
    Journal: ESA Bull; 2001 Nov; 108():94-8. PubMed ID: 15008207.
    Abstract:
    The microgravity experienced during space flight induces physiological changes that affect astronauts' health and performance. Simulations such as prolonged bed rest can mimic some of these changes and provide study conditions that are more accessible than during space flight itself. Previous studies, including several long and short-term bed-rest campaigns supported by ESA, have yielded significant medical data on the physiological changes induced by space flight. These data are being used extensively to study the effects of various countermeasures on those physiological changes.
