A new method for the psychological and physical selection of aircrew is described. Data from the literature are cited in support of the proposition that, in muscular work tests, the response of the body to fatigue cannot only be measured by means of the usual spirometric and ECG methods, but also via the plasma cortisol, ACTH and STH response. It is shown that changes in the concentration of these hormones are mainly attributable to fatigue and its accompanying hypoglycaemia. Hitherto overlooked due to the lack of standardisation of its methods, endocrinological examination could, it is suggested, be of considerable assistance in the selection of aircrew, in the interests of greater safety in the air.
本文描述了一种用于空勤人员心理和身体选拔的新方法。引用了文献数据来支持以下观点：在肌肉工作测试中，身体对疲劳的反应不仅可以通过常规的肺活量测定法和心电图方法来测量，还可以通过血浆皮质醇、促肾上腺皮质激素和生长激素的反应来测量。结果表明，这些激素浓度的变化主要归因于疲劳及其伴随的低血糖症。由于其方法缺乏标准化，内分泌检查迄今一直被忽视。有人认为，为了提高飞行安全性，内分泌检查在空勤人员的选拔中可能会有很大帮助。
