Exercise under artificial gravity - experimental and computational approaches
Humans experience strong physiological deconditioning during space missions, primarily due to the weightlessness conditions. Some of these adverse consequences include bone loss, muscle atrophy, sensory-motor deconditioning, and cardiovascular adaptation, which may lead to orthostatic intolerance …

Exercise protocols during short-radius centrifugation for artificial gravity
Long-duration spaceflight results in severe physiological deconditioning, threatening the success of interplanetary travel. Exercise combined with artificial gravity provided by centrifugation may be the comprehensive countermeasure needed to prevent such deconditioning. The aims of this study were …

A Novel Resistance Exercise Machine for Use in a Lower Body Negative Pressure Box to Counteract the Effects of Weightlessness
<p>Physiological deconditioning is a critical problem in space, especially during long-term missions. Resistance exercise coupled with lower body negative pressure (LBNP) has been shown to be effective in counteracting some of the deconditioning related problems. This thesis describes the …

The gravity loading countermeasure skinsuit : a passive countermeasure garment for preventing musculoskeletal deconditioning during long-duration spaceflight
… of the hallmarks of long-duration spaceflight is physiological deconditioning seen in the absence of gravity. Negative changes in bone, muscle, and other physiological systems occur rapidly in space, and have the potential to severely limit the human space exploration program. The deficits in bone …

Toward a transformational roadmap to end pj paralysis: A mixed-methods impact study on patient ambulation initiative at hospitals in Alberta
… Pajamas (PJ) paralysis describes the adverse physiological effects experienced by patients with low mobility during hospitalization. Therefore, preventing pj paralysis during hospitalization is the primary objective of the examined initiative. Older adult patients who spend long periods …

Designing a Localized Lower Body Negative Pressure Garment for Long-Duration Spaceflight
… long been explored as a countermeasure to the physiological deconditioning and orthostatic intolerance associated with prolonged microgravity exposure. Traditional LBNP systems, however, are large, stationary devices that require astronauts to remain immobile during use, limiting their …

The acute effects of high-intensity interval and continuous aerobic exercise on physiological and functional outcomes in persons with multiple sclerosis
… of the central nervous system that results in physiological deconditioning and walking impairments. High-intensity interval training exercise (HIIT) has induced significant improvements in physiological conditioning in healthy and clinical populations. However, the effects of engaging in HIIT …
