[Effect of horizontal immersion into water at 38 degrees C on the urinary elimination of catecholamines].

The urinary excretion of noradrenaline, adrenaline and creatinine has been studied in normal young individuals during a water bath at 38 degrees C for 40 minutes. The noradrenalinuria and the ratio noradrenalinuria/creatininuria are decreased, indicating an inhibition of the vasomotor activity of the orthosympathetic system. This inhibition is related to the consequence of the external hydrostatic pressure of the water filling the intrathoracic venous reservoirs and increasing the systemic blood pressure at the sino-baroreceptor level, hyperthermia playing a very limited role.

Influence of water temperature on thermal, circulatory and respiratory responses to muscular work.

Different muscular exercises have been executed on a bicycle ergometer during immersion in water, the temperature of which varied between 20 and 40 degrees C. During submaximal works, O2 consumption was not modified by the temperature of the water. On the other hand, body temperature (rectal and muscular) are clearly influenced by environment. The temperature of the quadriceps varies from 37.7-38.5 degrees C when the bath temperature rises from 20-40 degrees C during the same work intensity corresponding to 1/3 of the individual maximal work capacity. The rectal temperature was always lower about 0.5 degrees C. Ventilation and heart rate underwent modifications which were significantly accentuated in hot water. Maximal O2 consumption does not reach its highest level in cold water. The low muscular temperature observed in these conditions seems to limit the aerobic metabolism and the working of the muscles. Maximal O2 consumption then rises in parallel with the increase in bath temperature and in body temperatures. In very hot water however (40 degrees C), when rectal temperature rises unduly, the circulatory demand linked to thermolysis becomes excessive, and maximal O2 consumption decreases.

Telemetric control of heart adaptation during automatic and free-fall parachute jumps.

Telmetered heart rate recordings have been ovtaine from 17 parachutists (6 during automatic jumps) 9 Catecholamine (adrenaline and noradrenaline) concentrations have been measured in urine and plasma of six of these subjects. No difference appears between heart rates recorded in the two jumps at egress and at parachute deployment. On the other hand, higher heart rate values are recorded during automatic jumps during descent and at ground impace. The urine catecholamine analysis after jump shows a statistically significant increase in adrenaline and noradrenaline concentration. It is suggested that simulation of the orthosympathetic system is due to two facts; muscular work performed during jumping and the emotional stress which it involves. The importance of these two causes varies with the jump circumstances.
