Figures & Tables

Figure 1

Tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) in individuals during parabolas. Thenar StO2 is shown for each of the six members of the research team. The number of parabolas on which each individual's measurements were obtained is also shown. Data are mean ± SEM.

Figure 2

Tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) during parabolic flights. Thenar StO2 is shown (mean ± SEM). In-flight measurements were made at a constant cabin pressure altitude of 5,600 ft (1,700 m). Pre-flight and in-flight data recorded at 1 g are shown in grey, and microgravity/hypergravity data during parabolas are shown in black. The asterisk denotes a statistically significant change in StO2 upon transition from hypergravity to microgravity.
