Résumé

Presents selected background information on the many aspects of ground-based and in-flight physiological research and applications
Emphasizes human research programs on prolonged bed rest and immersion
Includes confinement studies that replicate conditions of space flight and data from humans in space

Deconditioning is an integrated physiological response of the body to a reduction in metabolic rate, that is, to a reduction in energy use or in exercise level. This multi-author volume presents selected background information on the many aspects of ground-based and in-flight physiological research and applications, with an emphasis on human research programs on prolonged bed rest, immersion and confinement studies simulating conditions of space flight as well as data from humans in space. Deconditioning and Reconditioning will be of special interest to health professionals and clinical physicians.
