Aims Prolonged immobilization generates cardiac deconditioning, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and efficient countermeasures (CM) are needed to prevent it. Our aim was to assess by Cine-MRI the effects of long-term strict head-down (−6 degrees) bed-rest (BR) deconditioning, and the effectiveness of high-intensity jump training CM, on left ventricular (LV) function and mass. Methods 23 male participants (29±6 years, 181±6 cm, 77±7 kg) were enrolled. The experiment was conducted at: envihab (Koln, DLR, Germany) as part of the European Space Agency BR studies. Volunteers were randomly allocated to the jump training group (JUMP, n=12) or the control group (CTRL, n=11). A typical training session consisted of 4x10 countermovement jumps and 2x10 hops in a sledge jump system, with 5–6 sessions per week. Steady-state free precession cine-MRI images were obtained (25 frames/cardiac cycle, 8mm thickness, no gap, no overlap) as stack of short-axis images covering the whole LV from base to apex, before (PRE) and after 58-days (HDT58) of BR. Endocardial and epicardial semi-automated contouring was performed using custom software. Results In CTRL group, at HDT58 a reduction in LV mass (9%), end-diastolic (21%), end-systolic (8%) and stroke volume (23%) were observed, while ejection fraction did not change. In JUMP group, the reduction in LV end-diastolic volume was only by 9%, followed by a decrease in end-systolic (10%) and stroke volume (10%), with a preservation of LV mass. In both groups, ejection fraction did not change.
