STUDY OF PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES OCCURS IN HUMAN BODY IN SPACE: A REVIEW

*Dr. Ramesh M. Bansode and Dr. Supriya Chikhalekar

Abstract

The patterns determined by research in space physiology are the basis for biological and medical prognoses and for the planning of optimum routines for work and rest, sleep, and eating, and the living conditions of the cosmonauts and astronauts. Space physiology also seeks ways and means of increasing and maintaining bodily resistance during space flight—for example, by the development of rational physical exercise programs and use of certain prophylactic agents, including drugs. The findings of space physiology are taken into account not only in the selection of cosmonauts and astronauts and development of training programs but also in the solution of certain physiological problems arising under ordinary (terrestrial) conditions.

Keywords: space physiology, cosmonauts, astronauts.
