“…Previous research with fixed-wing aircraft has not supported, generally, any real differences between male and female pilots particularly in accident rates by gender of the pilot (Bazargan & Guzhva, 2011;Caldwell & LeDuc, 1998;Mitchell et al, 2005;Puckett & Hynes, 2011;Vail & Ekman, 1986). This study supported the same findings for helicopter pilots of no difference between male and female pilots regarding accidents and injuries.…”

“…In addition just the males were included in the study in order to assure that the findings following sleep deprivation are not affected from gender differences [18] . Details of the study were explained to each participant and signed informed consents were obtained.…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of one night's sleep deprivation on anaerobic performance and Reaction time of subjects in the morning of the following day.Methods: Eighteen male college student athletes were studied twice in a balanced, randomized design. Subjects were measured for peak power, mean power and Reaction time. Results:The performance showed no significant difference in both tests of anaerobic power (peak power, mean power) over the sleep deprivation period (P= 0.3; P= 0.4 respectively), but reaction time differed significantly from baseline (P=0.003). Results support the hypothesis that sleep serves a function of cognitive restitution, particularly in the maintenance of attentional mechanisms. In the light of the above considerations. Conclusions:It was concluded that short-term sleep deprivation is not effective on anaerobic performance, but adversely affects cognitive function such as Reaction Time.

“…With the improvement of aircraft performance and the complexity of flying missions, the crewing members' psychological loads are increased and their biological rhythms are disrupted, lead to decrements in their mood states as a function of fatigue 23,24) . Adverse mood state is related to the depression and suppression of specific immunities 25) .…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of balneotherapy on immunological parameters, trace metal elements and mood states in pilots.[Subjects] Thirty-six healthy male pilots were enrolled into this study.[Methods] All subjects received therapy for 3 weeks. They took entire-body immersion baths in thermomineral water for 30 min a day for 3 weeks. Blood samples were taken 1 day before and after the balneotherapy treatment. Blood concentrations of trace metal elements were measured using a BH5100 atomic absorption spectrometer. Blood serum concentrations of immunoglobulins and complements were measured with an automatic biochemical analyzer. The Profile of Mood States test was conducted to determine changes in mood states. [Results] After 3 weeks of balneotherapy, the concentrations of immunoglobulin A and complement component 4 increased significantly and the blood concentration of lead significantly decreased. The mood scores of tension-anxiety, anger-hostility, fatigue-inertia and confusion-bewilderment decreased. The mood score of vigor-activity significantly rose.[Conclusion] The findings indicate that balneotherapy over a 3-week period may exert a beneficial influence on the immune system and play an assistive role in improving the mood states of pilots.
