Deconditioning is an integrated physiological response of the body to areduction in metabolic rate that is to a reduction in energy use or inexercise level. Deconditioning and Reconditioning presents selected backgroundinformation on the many aspects of groundbased and inflight physiologicalresearch and applications.This multiauthor volume emphasizes human research programs on prolonged bedrest immersion and confinement studies simulating conditions of space flightas well as data from humans in space. Consolidating this research chapterscover the psychosociological aspects of confinement deconditioning theeffects of deconditioning and reconditioning on aerobic power thermoregulationduring deconditioning and practical applications. «
