Abstract

In this work, we studied the effect of vibratory stimulation of the foot support zones on the functional state of the leg muscles and the content of N2A titin isoforms in rats under simulated microgravity (hanging model). The results of this study showed that vibratory support zones of the rat foot in a gravity discharge may reduce the incidence in amplitude of the leg muscle motor response and undesirable reduction of the titin content.
