Abstract: A study of the effect of dry immersion (DI) on the characteristics of joystick control during a visual-motor task in men and women was conducted. It is shown that in the first days of DI, there is a deterioration in the performance of the visual-motor task, an increase in time indicators and a decrease in movement accuracy. By the end of DI, most of the parameters returned to the control level, indicating the adaptation of the hand movement control mechanisms to immersion conditions. However, despite the similarity of the effect of DI on changes in the parameters of movement trajectories in men and women, it was shown that both in control and in DI, women performed the presented visual-motor task faster and more accurately due to a longer latency time. In the early days of DI, the characteristics of task performance in women changed less than in men, which indicated a better adaptation of women to the conditions of DI. In the process of adaptation to DI factors, men and women had different strategies for performing visual-motor tasks.
