Summary:

AbstractSix volunteers were selected and submitted at regular intervals throughout a 46-day control experiment in a climatic chamber to a large number of biological investigations (respiratory function, acid-base balance, circulatory function, biochemical determinations on blood and urine specimens) as well as psychomotor tests.The results obtained clearly indicate that two kinds of adaptation occur:Other parameter changes were well within range of the measuring technique's accuracy and physiological background; except for urinary calcium output which still remained elevated.Finally, confinement failed to induce any significant degradation in psychomotor performances in spite of a sensation of fatigue.Such a control experiment provides precise determination of the role played by confinement alone in the observed biological variations during submarine and space missions
