This volume of the SeriesSpringerBriefs in Space Life Sciences summarizes the newest finding in the fieldof mental health and physiological exercise in Space. Currentlytwo major challenges are impacting human health in the western societies, onebeing a move towards a sedentary society, the second one being longevity. Bothhave a considerable impact on physical as well as mental health. Space lifescience research helps to understand the underlying degenerative physiologicaland neuro-psychological processes as living in space, living in microgravitycan be regarded as a time lapse of the sedentary and aging human being.Translational research of the past years has shown that exercise can beregarded as a key factor to counteract physical and mental deconditioning inspace, guaranteeing a holistic approach to health and a benefit to thesocio-demographic changes of our society.The book is written for scientists inbiomedicine, more specific in aging research, sports physiolo
gy andneurosciences.
