Abstract: | If lower body negative pressure (LBNP) loaded on exercise in weightlessness environment is able to derive a comparable cardiovascular responses to these in the ground, it should be identified as an optimal LBNP for exercise in space. To investigate the LBNP, 7 young subjects were exercised 4 work rates stepping up every 50 watts from 50 watts to 200 watts every 5 minutes in the upright position or 6 degree head down tilt position with each LBNP of 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 mmHg. Oxygen uptake during tilt exercise with over 60 mmHg LBNP was not different from it in upright exercise. Heart rate and systolic arterial pressure responses to exercise were very similar between tilt exercise with 60 mmHg LBNP and upright exercise. In conclusion, the optimal LBNP loaded on exercise in space should be around 60 mmHg. |
