Part of the book series: Endocrinology and Metabolism ((EAM,volume 5))

Abstract

Hypokinesia has been used to simulate some effects of weightlessness on the organism in preparation for manned space flight on the assumption that weightlessness and hypokinesia would cause similar stress reduction on bones and muscles and hence similar effects on their structure and function. This assumption proved correct. Thus, research on hypokinesia has become an integral part of the space sciences and has expanded to include structural and functional studies of all organ systems and of the human adaptation mechanisms. Indeed, antiorthostatic hypokinesia is now part of all cosmonaut and astronaut training programs. These observations began more than 20 years ago, when Kakurin1 began to describe the effects of long-term hypokinesia and antiorthostatic positions at various angles in relation to the horizontal on physical and psychologic training. The subjective feelings and objective changes during space flight and hypokinesia were similar: under both sets of conditions the subjects felt an increased pressure in the head, difficulty in breathing through the nose, nausea upon rapid movement of the head and eyes, and erroneous preception of their actual body position. Meanwhile, the pathogenesis of the phenomena induced by hypokinesia was being investigated2 and the first papers on the physiologic and biochemical changes during hypokinesia were published.3
