Effects of Spaceflight on Musculoskeletal Health: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis, Considerations for Interplanetary Travel [PDF]
Sports Medicine, 2021 Abstract Background If interplanetary travel is to be successful over the coming decades, it is essential that countermeasures to minimize deterioration of the musculoskeletal system are as effective as possible, given the increased duration of spaceflight associated with such missions. The aim of this review, therefore,

RADIATION EXPOSURE DURING THE ORBITAL AND INTERPLANETARY SPACEFLIGHTS: MONITORING AND PROTECTION
Ekologiya cheloveka (Human Ecology), 2019 This review presents actual knowledge and recent findings on the main sources of radiation exposure on human in space: galactic cosmic rays, Earth radiation belts and solar cosmic rays. Doses of radiation on the space station are in ~200 times higher than the average human exposure in ordinary terrestrial conditions.

Pathophysiology, 2015 The efficiency of six countermeasures (CM) for muscle atrophy was compared over 520 days of confinement during the terrestrial simulation of round space flight to Mars using surface electromyography (sEMG). Three of CM were cyclic exercises (a motor-driven and leg-driven treadmill, cycle ergometer), resistive exercises (the multifunctional dynamometer ...

Human Spaceflight: Technological Advances, Health Implications, and the Path to Interplanetary Travel [PDF]
International Journal of Advanced Multidisciplinary Research and StudiesHuman spaceflight has advanced from brief orbital missions to sustained international cooperation on the International Space Station (ISS). As humanity looks toward more ambitious goals, such as lunar bases and Mars exploration, understanding the challenges and opportunities of human space travel is critical.

Acta Astronautica, 2007 Abstract Interplanetary transport of microbes between Earth and Mars can be envisioned to occur either naturally as a consequence of impacts (lithopanspermia) or as a result of human and robotic spaceflight. In either case, the considerations for modeling successful transfer of microbial life are similar.
