Gravity alterations in space cause significant adaptive effects on the human body, including changes to the muscular, skeletal, and vestibular systems. However, multiple factors besides gravity exist in space therefore, it is difficult to distinguish gravity-related bioeffects from those of the other factors, including radiation. Although everything on the Earth surface is subject to gravity, gravity-induced effects are not explicitly clear. Here, different research methods that have been used in gravity alterations, including parabolic flight, diamagnetic levitation, and centrifuge, are reviewed and compared. The bioeffects that are reported to be associated with altered gravity in animals are summarized, and the potential risks of hypergravity and microgravity are discussed, with a focus on microgravity, which has been studied more extensively.
