Renal excretion of ascorbic acid, thiamin and 4-pyridoxic acid was studied in 18 test subjects exposed for 182 days to head-down tilt. Two groups of subjects (6 subjects each) performed exercises of different work load and the third - control - group was exposed to hypokinesia as such. It was shown that exercises produced a beneficial effect on vitamin metabolism. It is recommended to develop preliminary adaptation to the work load planned as a countermeasure in real or simulated weightlessness.
