with practice, any maneuver will have decreasing effect. Tolerance to G forces is dependent on human physiology and the individual pilot. These factors include the skeletal anatomy, the cardiovascular architecture, the nervous system, the quality of the blood, the general ... condition can reduce tolerance to accelerative forces. f. The above information provides pilots with a brief summary of the physiologic effects of G forces. It does not address methods of “counteracting” these effects. There are numerous references on the subject…
