Urinary catecholamine responses of fighter pilots were investigated in Aerial Combat Maneuver
(ACM). The levels of urinary adrenaline (Ad) and noradrenaline (NA) were determined in fighter
pilots during ACM with three types of aircraft (F-4, F-15 and F-2). The levels of Ad for post-flight
were significantly higher than for pre-flight, while changes were not significant for NA. The ratios
(post-/pre-flight) of Ad in ACM with different types of aircraft are relatively similar values. Our
results indicate that the ratio of urinary Ad as a good indicator to stress adaptation during ACM in
fighter pilots.
