1. 1. Does resting vasomotor tone impact +Gz tolerance?

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Samuel Courboin; [2022]
   Keywords : Gravitoinertial tolerance; Gravitoinertial force; Resting vasomotor tone; Mean arterial pressure; Postexercise hypotension;

   Abstract : The ability of an individual to withstand elevated head-to-toe gravitoinertial (+Gz) forces is determined by the capacity of their body to maintain sufficient head-level arterial pressure. Recent studies have shown a relationship between resting blood-vessel stiffness and an individual’s +Gz-tolerance, although the mechanisms behind this relationship are unclear. READ MORE
