Title: Telemetric control of heart adaptation during automatic and free-fall parachute jumps. Author: Deroanne R, Cession-Fossion A, Juchmes J, Servais JC, Petit JM. Journal: Aviat Space Environ Med; 1975 Feb; 46(2):128-31. PubMed ID: 1115707. Abstract: Telmetered heart rate recordings have been ovtaine from 17 parachutists (6 during automatic jumps) 9 Catecholamine (adrenaline and noradrenaline) concentrations have been measured in urine and plasma of six of these subjects. No difference appears between heart rates recorded in the two jumps at egress and at parachute deployment. On the other hand, higher heart rate values are recorded during automatic jumps during descent and at ground impace. The urine catecholamine analysis after jump shows a statistically significant increase in adrenaline and noradrenaline concentration. It is suggested that simulation of the orthosympathetic system is due to two facts; muscular work performed during jumping and the emotional stress which it involves. The importance of these two causes varies with the jump circumstances.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
