Researchers detail in "Supine LBNP exercise maintains exercise capacity in male twins during 30-d bed rest," new data in life sciences. According to recent research from the United States, "Exercise capacity is reduced after both short-and long-duration exposures to microgravity. Previously, we have documented that supine treadmill exercise within lower-body negative pressure (LBNP(ex)) maintains upright exercise responses in men after 5 and 15 d of bed rest, as a simulation of microgravity. The purpose of this study was to determine whether LBNP(ex) would protect against loss of upright exercise capacity (VO2peak) and sprint performance during a longer-duration bed rest."
