[An improved method for determining human general physical work capacity during bicycle ergometric testing].

Abstract

This paper discusses an improved technique for determining the general physical working capacity of the test subjects exercising on bicycle ergometer and the algorithm of the testing procedure which will be approximately doubled an accuracy of the calculations with respect to the conventional technique. The developed computer program provides the express-conclusion and recommendations for the subsequent individual control of the physical training of test subject. The proposed integrated approach is best used for evaluating the functional state of the flight personnel in the aviation (military, civil, sport) and space medicine.

"Higher, always higher": technology, the military and aviation medicine during the age of the two world wars.

The history of flight has been strongly influenced by the interplay between physiology and technology. The human body defined the relationship between man and machine--it had to be protected from the cold, bad weather, high altitude, speed and bullets. Technological innovations offered a way to improve on aeroplane safety, and enabled pilots to exceed the limits imposed by physiological constraints. In particular, reconnaissance and bombing missions during World War II, which demanded flight at high altitudes, stimulated intensive scientific research and technological development. This research led to the construction of artificial environments for pilots and ultimately gave rise to space medicine.
