On the 4th, 9th, 16th and 21st days of the "Salyut" mission the crewmembers performed exercises with a load of about 1100 kgm. The results were compared with those obtained on the Earth. Immediately after the tests the crewmembers showed an increased heart rate and greater changes in the diastolic and pulse pressure, cardiac output and left ventricular ejection time. The above parameters returned to the normal at a slower rate. A comparison of the values recorded on different flight days did not demonstrate a distinct correlation between the changes and time of the weightlessness exposure.
