Description: "Deconditioning is an integrated physiological response of the body to a reduction in metabolic rate. 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." "Consolidating this research, chapters cover the psycho-sociological aspects of confinement deconditioning, effects of deconditioning and reconditioning on aerobic power, thermoregulation during deconditioning, and more regarding relevant applications."--BOOK JACKET.
