Russomano et al. showed that, with higher heart rates in hypogravity, participants also had significantly higher VO2 and minute ventilation (Ve) [18]. In the study of Sriharan et al. [20], neither heart rate nor VO2 were significantly higher in Martian or lunar conditions (Table 6). Three studies assessed Borg scores and recorded an increase in perceived exertion in hypogravity (Table 7) [18,19,20].
