[DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN CARDIOVASCULAR DECONDITIONING ON THE STAGE OF RETURNING TO EARTH AFTER STAY IN MICROGRAVITY]
Abstract:
The authors present the results of retrospective analysis of earlier published papers and reports, and also own observations of cardiovascular deconditioning in cosmonauts and astronauts returning from microgravity. Benefits of in-flight physical exercises to g-tolerance during descent and post-recovery orthostatic stability are discussed.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...
