  • Title: [Adaptive effects of repeated immersion exposure on the human body].
    Author: Shul'zhenko EB, Kozlova VG, Aleksandrova EA, Kudrin KA.
    Journal: Kosm Biol Aviakosm Med; 1984; 18(2):57-9. PubMed ID: 6716945.
    Abstract:
    The effect of intermittent immersion on orthostatic tolerance, fluid-electrolyte metabolism and neuromuscular system was investigated. Control and experimental immersions were used. Experimental immersion was preceded by 12-hour exposure to immersion at night for three times. Experimental immersion was accompanied by reduced renal excretion of fluid, sodium and potassium and normalization of the muscle tone. After experimental immersion orthostatic tolerance approached the control level. The difference in the physiological effects of control and experimental immersions seem to be associated with the capacity of the human body to adapt to immersion, if it is applied intermittently.
