Abstract Synopsis

  • A 60-day bed rest study evaluated the effects of artificial gravity (AG) on physical and muscle function; AG did not improve aerobic capacity but helped reduce muscle deterioration, especially in jumping power and plantar flexion strength.
  • The study involved three groups—continuous AG, intermittent AG, and control—with AG protocols providing low-intensity muscle contractions insufficient for maintaining aerobic fitness but somewhat protective for muscle function.
  • Women experienced more significant declines in muscle power and strength than men, and while AG mitigated some muscle losses, it was not effective in preserving aerobic exercise capacity due to its low cardiovascular demand.]
