abstract="Data of investigations of the artificial gravity issues in centrifuge experiments in Russian, USA and Japan over the past 40 years were analyzed. Periodic +Gz centrifugation was used to prevent or eliminate body deconditioning after 3- to 56-d simulated microgravity, and to increase the body functional reserve (orthostatic stability) in ordinary life. Positive effects included prevention of a decline of gravitational stability and reduction or averting the negative effects of simulated microgravity on various physiological systems. Better results can be achieved by combining artificial g-loads with the well-proven methods of combating deconditioning, i.e. physical training on bicycle ergometer and induced hydration. Human tolerance of g-loads on a short-arm centrifuge with a high (100%) gravitational gradient was found no worse than on a mid-arm centrifuge with a lower (20%) gravitational gradient. Negative effects of +Gz on a short-arm centrifuge were revealed and counteracting measures were determined.<p /><p>Language: ru</p>",
