Abstract :
Anecdotal evidence and some evidence from both animal and human experimentation indicate that there is a steady decline in G tolerance when exposures to sustained acceleration are lacking or infrequent. Likewise, there is evidence that frequent exposure enhances G tolerance. The author examines some arguments for recurrent centrifuge training of aircrew personnel for the maintenance and enhancement of sustained acceleration tolerance
