Countermeasures to Spaceflight-Induced Adaptations

Countermeasures to spaceflight-induced adaptations are strategies designed to mitigate the physiological changes astronauts experience during space missions. In microgravity, astronauts can face issues like muscle atrophy, bone density loss, and cardiovascular changes. To counter these effects, astronauts engage in regular exercise, follow specialized nutrition plans, and may use resistance training devices. These approaches help maintain their physical health and prepare them for a safe return to Earth, where gravity resumes its usual effects on the body. Overall, these countermeasures aim to ensure that astronauts maintain their strength and health while exploring space.
