Commentaries on Viewpoint: Standardization of bed rest studies in the spaceflight context.

to the editor: The work presented by Sundblad et al. ([5][1]) is important and is likely to improve present international efforts to develop countermeasures against, for example, cardiovascular deconditioning during spaceflight. However, one aspect that is not addressed to a sufficient extent is the
