The results of studies on the physiological changes of body fluids and electrolytes during bed rest with and without exercise training are overviewed to determine the effect of exercise and to assess the role of hormonal regulation in fluid-electrolyte responses to hypogravity. Special attention is given to fluid shifts observed in spacecraft personnel during space missions. It is concluded that, despite an apparent uncoupling of prominent hormonal interactions during bed-rest deconditioning (and, possibly, during microgravity), the exercise-training-induced hypervolemia helps to counter the hypohydrostatic-induced dehydration. Thus, it was found that, after nearly a year of spaceflight during which one cosmonaut exercised for about 4 hr per day, the water balance and physiological functioning were not disturbed significantly.
