Deconditioning and Reconditioning
Editat de John Greenleafen Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 feb 2004
This multi-author volume emphasizes human research programs on prolonged bed rest, immersion and confinement studies simulating conditions of space flight, as well as data from humans in space. Consolidating this research, chapters cover the psycho-sociological aspects of confinement deconditioning, the effects of deconditioning and reconditioning on aerobic power, thermoregulation during deconditioning, and practical applications.

Recenzii
"This book is a valuable contribution to the field. Each contributing author presents a comprehensive summary of the current state of knowledge regarding their specific topic. … This book contains much useful information about the physiological deconditioning response associated with bed rest, prolonged water immersion, and prolonged space flight and weightlessness. The book is a good starting point for all students interested in understanding where good health begins, i.e., being physically active."
- Doody's Review
"[T]he volume offers a global experience in the understanding of maintaining optimal physiology. Dr. Greenleaf and his collaborators have created a useful primer and reference text on the physiology of conditioning and deconditioning … The editor and the various authors have made an admirable effort in keeping the reading both engaging and understandable for an audience not necessarily limited to medical personnel. … [T]his work offers a wealth of information for a wide audience or readers: aerospace physiologists, physicians, nurses, and technicians … . ."

Descriere
Deconditioning is an integrated physiological response of the body to a reduction in metabolic rate, or a reduction in energy use or in exercise level. This multi-author volume presents information on the many aspects of ground-based and in-flight physiological research and applications. The text emphasizes human research programs on prolonged bed rest, immersion, and confinement studies simulating conditions of space flight as well as data from humans in space. It covers topics such as the psycho-sociological aspects and the physiological consequences in physically active people. Deconditioning and Reconditioning will be of special interest to health professionals and clinical physicians.
