This paper reports the quantitative evaluation of the H-reflex exhibited by parabolic flight with exposure to micro and high-gravity. With respect to previous findings in parabolic flights and short-term space missions, the analysis focused on reflex activity in weightlessness. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of gravity on H-reflex and motor evoked potentials (MEP) in soleus muscle (SOL) during parabolic flight.
