[Analysis of the causes of loss of tolerance to standard G-loads by fighter pilots]. / Analiz prichin ponizheniia ustoichiivosti k ékspertnym peregruzkam letchikov istrebitel'noi aviatsii.

Analytical treatment has been given to causes for the loss of tolerance to radial accelerations by fighter pilots subjected to clinical tests during flight medical certification in recent years. The diagnostic necessity of implementation of additional tests by this cohort of pilots has been demonstrated and methods to improve pilots' cardiovascular adaptability to g-loads during the inpatient medical examination have been proposed.

Training on the static ergometer was shown to increase tolerance of fighters' pilots for radial accelerations. Proposed is a program of training on the static ergometer consisting of two incremental loads in the interval between 120 and 240 kgf. In persons with cardiac pathologies this training program noticeably improved parameters of the cardiovascular adaptive reaction to static loads. Effectiveness, technical simplicity and low cost of the training are the attributes that can insure it a proper place in the rehabilitative treatment of pilots prior to or during the institutional examination as a part of the medical flight certification.
