Descriptor English: Weightlessness Countermeasures
Descriptor Spanish: Medidas contra la Ingravidez
Descriptor medidas contra la ingravidez
Scope note: Técnicas y rutinas diseñadas para prevenir o revertir efectos no deseados de la ingravidez que se experimentan durante los vuelos espaciales reales o simulados, se incluyen los cambios fisiológicos relacionados con la eliminación de la carga gravitacional. Entre las medidas específicas se incluyen la creación de gravedad artificial, ejercicios, presión negativa de la parte inferior del cuerpo de bajo nivel, y uso de aditamentos anti-desacondicionamiento.
