Abstract
A study was made of a combined action of prolonged hypokinesia (period - up to 30-49 days) and of different position of persons under trial (healthy men) to the gravitation vector on the body composition. Changes in total water content in the organism largely depended not on the limited mobility, but on the body position in space. In antiorthostatic position of persons under trial water "elimination" occurred chiefly during the first several days. The "lean mass of the body" decreased as a result of prolonged hypokinesia, and water content fell in it; but water content was rapidly restored with the restoration of the motor activity.If you're having problem loading pages
