Space Physiology
Head: Prof. Dr. med. Jörn Rittweger
Nutrition and bone metabolism
Research on bone metabolism and sodium regulation in metabolic balance studies; influence on macro- und micronutrients, inactivity (e.g. microgravity, bed rest) and training on human bone metabolism with special regard on distinct diseases and extreme living conditions

Integrative Muscle Physiology
Influence of long-term unloading (e.g. microgravity, bed rest), different kinds of muscle training, changes of blood flow, blood- and tissue volume and nutrition on the human skeletal-muscle; diagnosis and therapy of hereditary muscular metabolic diseases; non-invasive methods (NMR, NIRS, EMG)
Full article
Cardiovascular- and Volume Regulation
Research on interactions between neurohumoral cardiovascular regulation and water and electrolyte metabolism, especially under the influence of weightlessness and surrogate conditions (e.g. head-down tilt bed rest)
