CARDIAC AUTONOMIC MODULATION BEFORE PARACHUTE DESCENT
Journal Title: Medicina Sportiva - Year 2012, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: To analyze if preparation for parachute descent can influence cardiac autonomic modulation of persons undergoing their first parachute descent, how preparation for parachute descent influenced cardiac autonomic modulation of advanced parachutists (more than 200 descents), and if there is a difference in cardiac autonomic modulation during preparation for parachute descent between persons undergoing their first parachute descent and advanced parachutists.Methods: 23 parachutists of both sexes were divided into two groups. Participants of basic training, who were prepared for the first parachute descent, entered the first group (BT). Sport parachutists with more than 200 drops were placed into the second group (SP). The average age of all parachutists was 26.2 ± 7.0 years.Results: The results have indicated that ground-based preparation for parachute descent have already significantly decreased cardiac autonomic modulation whereas mental stress before leaving the airplane further intensifies the cardiac autonomic modulation. It has been shown that the changes in the cardiac autonomic modulation were less marked in the SP than in the BP.Conclusion: Experiences resulting from multi-repetitions of parachute descents
