    Abstract New findings: What is the central question of the study? The aim was to determine the effects of duration of acceleration in the cranial-caudal direction (+Gz) on acceleration atelectasis and identify measurement techniques that can be used to assess it. What is the main finding and its importance? Non-invasive measurement of acceleration atelectasis using electrical impedance tomography and estimates of pulmonary shunt provide more detailed assessment of acceleration atelectasis than traditional forced vital capacity measures. Using these techniques, it was found that as little as 30 s of exposure to +Gz acceleration can cause acceleration atelectasis. The results of the present study will allow a more accurate and detailed assessment of acceleration atelectasis in the future.
    Abstract: Recently, there have been reports of acceleration atelectasis during fast jet flight despite the use of systems designed to minimize this. Before further investigation of this, indices suitable for use in applied settings and identification of acceleration durations that elicit it are required. Fifteen non-aircrew subjects underwented five centrifuge exposures lasting 15, 30, 60 and 2 × 90 s with a plateau of +5 Gz (acceleration in the cranial-caudal direction) while breathing 94% O

    Abstract Background: Fast jet aircrew are heavily reliant on anti-G trousers (AGT) and failure of the garment or its pressure supply would expose them to high levels of +Gz acceleration without protection. A previous study demonstrated the severity of this event at high +Gz, but no data exists as to the maximum +Gz level which could be tolerated.
    Methods: : While relaxed and with lower body muscle tensing, 10 experienced centrifuge subjects had their AGT deflated after 5 and 30 s of +Gz exposure. Discrete +Gz exposures of increasing intensity were performed until deflation resulted in central light loss (CLL). Visual symptoms, eye-level systolic BP (SBPeye), and mean blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery (MCAVmean) were recorded.
    Results: The mean +Gz level at CLL following AGT deflation was comparable to that without AGT inflation (+4.07 Gz) and increased by muscle tensing (+0.53 G) independent of exposure duration. Initial visual symptoms occurred more rapidly in the shorter +Gz exposures, while progression to CLL was quicker with muscle tensing compared with relaxed, but never less than 6.7 s. At CLL, the nadir in SBPeye was higher (+17 mmHg) with muscle tensing compared with relaxed, while MCAVmean was decreased by about 50% in all conditions.
    Discussion: +Gz tolerance following AGT deflation is comparable to that without inflation and only modestly increased by muscle tensing. Although vision is maintained for several seconds following AGT deflation, progression of light loss symptoms can be rapid, possibly resulting in insufficient time to respond before G-induced loss of conciousness (G-LOC) ensues.

    Abstract Background: Repeated exposure to +Gz acceleration provokes cardiovascular adaptations of potential benefit to pilots' +Gz tolerance, but whether such changes actually improve human tolerance to +Gz acceleration is uncertain. This study assessed +Gz tolerance before and after repeated exposure to +Gz at two different intensities as the role of frequency of +Gz exposure in adaptation also remains unknown.
    Methods: In a cross-over design, 10 experienced male centrifuge volunteers completed two experimental conditions separated by at least 3 wk. Subjects completed four simulated air combat maneuvers (SACM) on a human centrifuge, either twice or four times per week, for 3 consecutive weeks. Relaxed +Gz tolerance (RGT) during a gradual onset run (GOR, 0.1 G x s(-1)) and cardiovascular responses to rapid and incremental head-up tilt were assessed before and after each condition.
    Results: Rapid and incremental head-up tilt increased both mean arterial and diastolic blood pressures following +Gz exposure. +Gz exposure attenuated the increase in heart rate (+9 +/- 3 vs. +11 +/- 3 mmHg/Gz) and the decrease in eye-level systolic blood pressure (-11 +/- 3 vs. -14 +/- 4 mmHg/Gz) during GOR, but had no effect on RGT (4/wk: +3.88 +/- 0.56 vs. +3.92 +/- 0.63 Gz; 2/wk: +3.89 +/- 0.69 vs. +3.92 +/- 0.69 Gz).
    Discussion: Frequent +Gz acceleration, either as 2 (8 SACMs) or 4 sessions (16 SACMs) per week for 3 wk, enhances cardiovascular tolerance to orthostatic stress but does not improve RGT measured during a GOR.
