The performance quality of movements away and approaches to an airlock by astronauts was tested during parabolic flights for weightlessness simulation. Coordination of movement, orientation and performance capacity of the astronauts were not singificantly disrupted. Observed physiological shifts are characterized by an increase in pulse and respiration rate and an increase in arterial pressure under g-forces, a gradual decrease in these indices during repeated stays in weightlessness or during the prolonged effect of it, by a reduction of the length of postrotational nystagmus and counterrotation illusions under weightless conditions.
