Use of LBNP Model for Assessment of Human Adaptation Mechanisms with Regard to +Gz Tolerance

Abstract

Based on literature data and own experiences the author discussed selected hemodynamic reactions that take place in response to +Gz acceleration and application of lower body negative pressure (LBNP) through use of a vacuum capsule. Results of this research justify a thesis that circulatory system adaptive mechanisms taking place during +Gz acceleration are similar to those obtained during LBNP application.
