NASA ISS On-Orbit Status 11 May 2010

Later, to get physically ready for his return to gravity, 6 / 2 with Soyuz 21S, Oleg Kotov finished its first preparatory orthostatic hemodynamic endurance test with the Russian Chibis suit, held the exercise protocol MedOps MO-4 in the lower belt of low pressure device (ODNT, U.S.: LBNP / Lower Body Negative Pressure) on the TVIS treadmill. With Kornienko as CMO (Crew Medical Officer), Oleg was assisted in its session of 55 minutes by ground specialist tagup via VHF radio at 11:14 pm, DO4. There will be shorter.[The Chibis provides gravity simulate the stress on the body of the cardiovascular / circulatory system for evaluation of orthostatic tolerance Romanenko (eg, the Gauer-Henry reflex) after his term extended stay in zero-G. Data output includes blood pressure readings. The preparatory training generally consists of first imbibing 150-200 milliliters of water or juice, followed by a cycle of a sequence of progressive regimes of reduced ("negative") pressure, set at -25, - 30, -35 and -40 mmHg for five minutes.each while shifting from foot to foot at 10-12 steps per minute, while wearing a sphygmomanometer to measure blood pressure. the circulatory system of the body interprets the pressure differential between the upper and lower body as a force of gravity as pulling the blood (and other liquids) down.
