New Findings What is the topic of this review? This review focuses on the main physiological
challenges associated with exposure to acceleration in the Gx, Gy and Gz directions and to …

Neck pain and lower back pain are commonly reported by military pilots. That is why the
answers to the following questions are important:(1) which part of the back (neck or lumbar …

In this study, we explore the work of breathing (WoB) experienced by aviators during the Anti-
G Straining Maneuver (AGSM) to improve pilot safety and performance. Traditional airflow …

This book provides a unique, authoritative and detailed examination of the physiological and
clinical consequences of human exposure to high G forces. Pilots of military fast jets, civilian …

Military aircrew are occupationally exposed to a high-G environment. A tolerance test and
surveillance is necessary for military aircrew before flight training. A cardiac force index (CFI) …

Fighter pilots may be exposed to extended flight missions. Consequently, there is increasing
concern about fatigue. We investigated the effects of fatigue and cognitive performance in a …

Fighter pilots are commonly recommended strength training as a means of improving the
tolerance to withstand high gravitoinertial (G) loads. Previous studies on the effect of short …

During increased gravitoinertial (G) load in the head-to-foot direction, pressures in
dependent vascular beds are commonly raised to levels capable of distending precapillary …

Gravity in the head-to-toe direction, known as+ Gz (G force), forces blood to pool in the lower
body. Fighter pilots experience decreases in blood pressure when exposed to hypergravity …

Increased heart rate (HR) is a reaction to head-to-toe gravito-inertial (G) force. The anti-G
straining manoeuvre (AGSM) is the crucial technique for withstanding a high-G load …
