Key result
This review outlines the physics of acceleration and physiological adaptation to sustained and chronic G forces, including cardiovascular, neurologic, and respiratory accommodation.
Provides a comprehensive overview of the physics and physiological adaptations to acceleration and gravity environments.
Outlines +Gz cardiovascular accommodation; leaves open whether chronic exposure induces lasting human adaptations.
