Sažetak
The purpose of this study was to determine how physiological factors such as HR, RR, EKG, blood sugar, colesterol and some trace elements (Cu and Zn) change during aerobatic flight. Applicants had signitificantly changed blood sugar and Zn concentration after flight, but other physiological parameters remaned practically unchanged. Introduction: Aerobatic flying demands the best of both, aircraft and pilot. The pilot must posess skill and physiological stamina. The most important biomedical factors is the pilot's response to acceleration (G loading). The major physiological affects of G loading yary from reduced vision to loss of consciousness. During the early years of aerobatics no physiological effects of G loading were reported, because aircraft power and speed were limited. Flight stress test causes pilot participants to change levels of blood sugar and blood Zn in situation that induces hormonal changes. Increased blood sugar is a result of adrenalin response to physical and psychological stress, but decreased blood Zn sugested that circulatory Zn is sequestrared by the liver. There are of known Zn proteins, such as metalothioneines, wose synthesis is induced by infection, inflammation of stress factors.
