Objective:To compare and analyze the differences of exercise cardiopulmonary function and the correlation of different cardiopulmonary function indexes among different aircraft types in pilots.Methods:Retrospective study was used. The exercise cardiopulmonary function of 68 Air Force pilots who were qualified for flight in aeromedical identification were tested with the Italian Cosmed exercise cardiopulmonary function tester at a power increasing rate of 25 W/min. The subjects were divided into fighter group and other aircraft group according to aircraft types. The differences of exercise cardiopulmonary function between 2 groups were compared. The correlation between maximal oxygen uptake and age, body mass index, and the correlation between heart rate recovery and exercise endurance were analyzed.Results:There were significant differences in maximal heart rate, respiratory quotient and heart rate recovery value at 1 min after exercise between fighter group (32 cases) and other aircraft group (36 cases) ( t=2.28, 2.50, 2.37, P=0.026, 0.049, 0.021). There was no significant difference in other indexes. The maximal oxygen uptake was negatively correlated with age and body mass index ( r=-0.329, -0.339, both P<0.001). The values of heart rate recovery at 2 min and 3 min after exercise were positively correlated with maximal oxygen uptake and maximal exercise power ( r=0.284, 0.290, 0.306, 0.268, P=0.001, 0.026, 0.002, 0.002). Conclusions:The indexes of exercise cardiopulmonary function have significant differences among pilots in different aircraft types, and there are significant changes with age and weight gain. The heart rate after exercise can monitor the changes of cardiopulmonary function under different training conditions.

Objective:To introduce the formulation and implementation of exercise prescription for military flying personnel.Literature resource and selection:The related literature on exercise prescription of military flying personnel published at home and abroad.Literature quotation:Fifty-eight references were cited, including 46 articles, 6 reviews, 5 dissertations and 1 conference paper.Literature synthesis:Exercise prescription plays an important role in improving the physical function, physical quality, psychological stress and flight ability of flying personnel. The formulation of exercise prescription for flying personnel needs to focus on such aspects as anti-acceleration endurance, muscle strength, exercise ability and cardiopulmonary exercise function. This paper analyzes the elements of exercise prescription for flying personnel, including the selection of exercise type, the control of exercise intensity, the arrangement of exercise time and the setting of exercise frequency.Conclusions:Under the mode of flying personnel′s robust promotion and support, the formulation of individualized moderate intensity exercise prescription according to different types of aircraft, models of aircraft, types of personnel, ages and physical and mental conditions can help flying personnel to improve the physical and mental health and military operation ability.
