  • Title: Effect of dry immersion in combination with stimulation of foot support zones upon muscle force-velocity characteristics.
    Author: Netreba AI, Khusnutdinova DR, Vinogradova OL, Kozlovskaya IB.
    Journal: J Gravit Physiol; 2004 Jul; 11(2):P129-30. PubMed ID: 16237812.
    Abstract:
    The complex of motor disturbances arising under conditions of real and simulated microgravity that include decrease of contractile characteristics of postural muscles is likely to be a result of withdrawal of support stimuli. Artificial stimulation of support zones of feet is shown to diminish partially or prevent completely the negative effects of microgravity on the motor system. The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the changes of contractile properties of extensors and flexors of knee joint measured in isokinetic and isotonic regimes under conditions of simulated microgravity (7 days dry immersion).
