Abstract

âº We investigate changes of cardiac and cerebrovascular functions after AG training. âº The AG training eliminated cardiovascular deconditioning induced by 4Â days of HDBR. âº The cerebrovascular functions were not affected significantly after training. âº The AG is an effective way of countermining cardiac deconditioning induced by HDBR.
