Does exercise training prevent the impairment of diastolic untwisting and suction in subjects undergoing prolonged bed rest?
Population
24 subjects undergoing -6 degrees head-down tilt bed rest for 18 days
Comparison
Exercise training during bed rest vs Sedentary bed rest without exercise training
Design
Cohort

May support exercise to preserve diastolic untwisting in bed rest; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation.
Does exercise training prevent the impairment of diastolic untwisting and suction in subjects undergoing prolonged bed rest?
Exercise training during prolonged bed rest prevents physiological cardiac remodeling and preserves or enhances diastolic suction and untwisting.
Dorfman et al. (2008) studied this question.
