loss still occurs in the lumbar spine and femur. 38 – 40 Although exercise may be considered sufficient for short duration spaceflights, pharmacological countermeasures should be considered for longer spaceflights. To date, only alendronate has been assessed with a bed rest study 26 and clinical trial during spaceflight. 25 While demonstrating maintenance of bone density, the method of administration and common side-effects are an issue, with 2 out of 11 astronauts participating in the in-flight study withdrawing due to gastrointestinal side

the risk of kidney stones, by as much as 30–125 mg · day −1 as seen from 6-mo spaceflights. 31 Various combinations of bisphosphonate (alendronate at 70 mg · wk −1 ) and resistive exercise treatments to abate bone loss were studied on the ISS. 76 With data from three groups obtained before and after 6 mo of spaceflight, one group trained on the Interim Resistive Exercise Device, another on the advanced resistive exercise device (ARED), and a third combined ARED and bisphosphonate (70 mg · wk −1 ) treatments. Each group incurred significant losses
