Form influences function: Anthropometry and orthostatic stability during sustained acceleration in a short arm human centrifuge

Total BM, BV, and BSA were the anthropometric factors associated with orthostatic stability during +G. The higher these parameters, the higher the baseline SV, which combined contributed to greater orthostatic stability during +G. Male test subjects had an overall advantage over females via increased body dimensions and augmented cardiac function. Anthropometric analysis via ADP thus reveals critical information regarding how anthropometry influences hemodynamic function and further studies on this topic are warranted.
