What were the three major outcomes of the Dallas bed-rest study that helped change the role of exercise in medicine and research?


1 . Recovery from surgery required early ambulation instead of the usually prescribed complete bed-rest.
2 . The initial concept developed in the late 1950s of an active cardiac rehabilitation program after "a heart attack" was confirmed.
3 . It was recognized that bed-rest deconditioning was similar to the deconditioning associated with the microgravity exposure of spaceflight. Therefore, many bed-rest facilities were built to investigate short- and long-term deconditioning of microgravity.
