Influence of simulated microgravity on sympathetic nervous system activity and the blood flow response to acute exercise.

Rats exposed to head down suspension (HDS) exhibit reductions in aerobic capacity characterized by lower measures of maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂ max). This deconditioning process may be due in part to an impaired ability to augment cardiac output and to redistribute blood flow during exercise. The pu...
