Gravity: It's the law.
Based on experience in microgravity and on centrifuge induced hypergravity, exposure to either altered force field causes marked effects in animals and humans. It would seem logical that changes from unit gravity would have different effects depending on whether gravity is increased or decreased. Examples will be presented of responses to altered gravitational fields and changes in human and animal musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary neurovestibular and metabolic responses.
