Assessment of the efficacy of medical countermeasures in space flightChanges in body fluids, electrolytes and muscle mass are manifestations of adaptation to space flight and readaptation to the 1-g environment. The purpose of this paper is to review the current knowledge of biomedical responses to short- and long-duration space missions and to assess the efficacy of countermeasures to 1-g deconditioning. Exercise protocols, fluid hydration, dietary and potential pharmacologic measures are evaluated, and directions for future research activities are recommended.
