Download or read book High G Flight written by David Newman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 aerobatic pilots and astronauts during the launch and re-entry phases of spaceflight are frequently and repetitively exposed to high G forces, for which the human body is not fundamentally designed. The book examines not only the nature of the high G environment, but the physiological effects of exposure to high G on the various systems of the human body. In particular, the susceptibility of the human cardiovascular system to high G is considered in detail, since G-Induced Loss of Consciousness (G-LOC) is a serious hazard for high G pilots. Additionally, the factors that influence tolerance to G and the emerging scientific evidence of physiological adaptation to high G are examined, as are the various countermeasures and techniques that have been developed over the years to protect pilots from the potentially adverse consequences of high G flight, such as the G-suit and positive pressure breathing. The accumulated knowledge of human exposure to high G is drawn together within High G Flight, resulting in a definitive volume on the physiological effects of high G and their countermeasures.
Download or read book Pulling G written by Erik Seedhouse and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performing in a high G environment is extremely demanding on the body: pulling G forces blood to the body’s extremities, putting the pilot, astronaut or driver at risk of G-Induced Lack of Consciousness (G-LOC). In “Pulling G” Erik Seedhouse describes what it feels like to pull 7 G in a fighter plane and the G pressures on the body when driving a Formula 1 car and many other gravity-defying vehicles. The book relates, for the first time, the effects of G in both hyper-gravity and microgravity. It describes the human response to increased and decreased G and the potentially dangerous effects of high G, with particular reference to dynamic injuries sustained in high acceleration environments. “Pulling G” provides an overview of G-related research and the development of intervention methods to mitigate the effects of increased and reduced G. As well as relating the training required to overcome G-forces on the Formula 1 track, Erik Seedhouse looks at the G forces encountered in such G environments as ejection from an aircraft, launch/re-entry, and zero-G. The book also considers how artificial gravity can be used to prevent bone demineralization and to reduce the effects of de-conditioning in astronauts. Erik Seedhouse is eminently qualified to describe the effects of large accelerations on the body. In addition to being the author of several previously published Springer Praxis books, he has developed astronaut-training protocols and is the training director for Astronauts for Hire (A4H). He is also the Canadian Forces’ High Risk Acceleration Training Officer.

This book was released on 2018-07-04 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spaceflight and bed-rest deconditioning decrease maximal oxygen uptake (aerobic power), strength, endurance capacity, and orthostatic tolerance. In addition to extensive use of muscular exercise conditioning as a countermeasure for the reduction in aerobic power (VO(sub 2max)), stimuli from some form of +Gz acceleration conditioning may be necessary to attenuate the orthostatic intolerance component of this deconditioning. Hypothesis: There will be no significant difference in the physiological responses (oxygen uptake, heart rate, ventilation, or respiratory exchange ratio) during supine exercise with moderate +Gz acceleration.

Download or read book Effects of Prolonged Bedrest and Gz Acceleration on Peripheral Visual Response Time written by Richard F. Haines and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cardiovascular deconditioning, dehydration, and other physiological changes that occur as a result of prolonged exposure to the zero g space environment raise some questions about the applicability of much previous research which has shown that spacecraft atmosphere reentry accelerations pose no appreciable physiological or performance problems for the astronauts. This report deals with whether or not peripheral visual response time changes during +Gz acceleration following fourteen days of bedrest as well as what effect prolonged bedrest has upon this response.
Download or read book Physiologic Responses to Short Duration Gz written by George H. Kydd and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subjects were subjected to Gz (positive) haversine accelerations of short duration, high magnitude on the centrifuge and their responses to peripheral lights have been recorded. Whereas, most subjects lost the peripheral lights during the 6-second haversine, only one did so during the 4-second run. Since the acceleration is maximum one half way through these accelerations this means that a rise time to 6 Gz in 3 seconds was more effective in producing peripheral light loss (P.L.L.) than a rise to 10 Gz in 2 seconds. The data thus indicate that the response tends to become independent of maximum Gz and become more a function of the duration of the acceleration. With the shorter duration haversine (10 and 8 seconds) the response tends to occur after maximum Gz when acceleration is decreasing. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life Sciences and Space Research, Volume XVII contains the proceedings of the Open Meeting of the Working Group on Space Biology of the Twenty-first Plenary Meeting of COSPAR, held in Innsbruck, Austria, from May 29 to June 10, 1978 and of the Symposium on Gravitational Physiology which also took place in Innsbruck, Austria, on June 2 and 3, 1978. The papers review the results of research in the life sciences with respect to space biology, including chemical data returned from the Viking Lander experiments. The engineering design of biologically closed ecological systems suitable for very long term space flight or space colonies is also described. This volume is comprised of 41 chapters and begins with a discussion on closed regenerative life support systems for space travel and their implications for ecological science. Subsequent chapters examine closed ecology in space from a bioengineering perspective; technology requirements for nonterrestrial ecosystems; carbon suboxide polymer as an explanation for the wave of darkening observed on Mars; and volcanism and soil mercury on Mars, along with their consequences for terrestrial microorganisms. The next sections focus on the biology of extreme environments such as Central Antarctica, radiation biology in space, and gravitational physiology in relation to humans and animals. This book will be of interest to space scientists, space biologists, and those engaged in the life sciences, space research, molecular biophysics, biochemistry, and physiology.

Book excerpt: Volunteer subjects were exposed to accelerations up to +8 Gz for 60 sec. Two separate studies were involved: The USAF-CSU-12/P anti-G garment was compared with the RAF 'mini' anti-G suit, and the M-1 maneuver was evaluated and compared with PPB at the same G levels. The numerous physiologic measurements included: direct eye-level arterial pressure; central venous pressure; esophageal and gastric pressures; suit and mask pressures; and ankle venous pressure. Arterial blood gas and pH measurements, A-P chest X-rays, and electrocardiographic data were also obtained. The results of this investigation and their interpretation have been published as USAFSAM-TR-73-21 (Leverett et al., 10).

This book was released on 2017-06-03 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid distribution during spaceflight and impact on brain and vision health is an emerging field of high-priority research in the NASA human space program. International Space Station astronauts have developed ocular refraction changes during prolonged spaceflight. Within this book, experts review current data related to fluid shifts during microgravity exposure and the impact of fluid shifts on astronaut health.This work also compares current astronaut health problems with Earth-based health conditions such as elevated intracranial pressure and glaucoma. Chapters include discussion of altered fluid distribution, including intracellular and extracellular fluid shifts, eye morphology and vision disturbances, and intraocular pressure. In addition, chapters will include a discussion of advanced non-invasive technologies to investigate the abovementioned fluid volume and pressure variables.As such, the book aims to bridge health professionals, researchers, and science professionals by a presentation of ophthalmology topics critical to future human space exploration, thus providing new perspectives to solve emerging brain and eye disease on Earth and in Space.
