Abstrakt: INTRODUCTION: The system of countermeasures for the adverse effects of m icrogravity developed in the USSR supported the successful implementation of long-duration spaceflight (LDS) programs on the Salyut and Mir orbital stations and was subsequently adapted fo r flights on the International Space Station (ISS). From 2000 through 2010, crews completed 26 ISS flight increments ranging in duration from 140 to 216 d, w ith the participation of 27 Russian cosmonauts. These flights have made it possible to more precisely determine a crewmember's level of conditioning, better assess the advantages and disadvantages of training processes, and determine prospects for future developments.
