spaceflight, astronauts, physiology, aerospace medicine, ColombiaAbstract
Human activities in space impose several psychophysiological challenges that impact human performance, and its understanding is pivotal for the planning phase of suborbital, orbital and exploration type missions. The holistic integration of different knowledge fields in human performance influenced by microgravity and the spacecraft environment is necessary to carry out activities in space science, research, equipment maintenance, navigation and survival for the benefit of people on earth, continuation of space endeavors, to decrease the likelihood of morbidity and facilitate physiological adaptation of astronauts during re-entry and postlanding activities. A systematic review of literature was performed from 1969 to 2020 using ProQuest, EBSCO, Ovid, arXiv.org, SAGE, BioMed, ClincalKey, Scielo, ScienceDirect, Scopus, SpringerLink, Web of Science, Wiley, PubMed and Google Scholar choosing the best available description of central nervous system, cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and hematologic changes induced by microgravity during a short space flight mission
