Manned space flight alters cardiovascular function. Confinement and weightlessness cause function changes similar to inactivity, designated as cardiovascular deconditioning. This includes decreased exercise and orthostatic tolerance. The influence of weightlessness as a separate environmental factor cannot yet be determined since manned space flights involve multiple changes in environmental factors that also effect cardiovascular function. Preliminary can tolerate the weightlessness of space flight for at least one month. (Author)
