Weightlessness

Weightlessness effects on physiological systems are summarized, including cardiovascular responses, hematological effects, work capacity (exercise tolerance), respiratory responses, skeletal responses, neuromuscular changes, vestibular responses, metabolism, endocrine and electrolyte responses, and weight loss. The nature of the adaptive response to space flight and microbial changes are also discussed. The effects of zero gravity upon performance are ascertained, and the physiological effects of weightlessness are counteracted.
