Relationship between the G Tolerance, Physical Performance, and Cardiac Force Index in Male Aircrew: A Prospective Observational Study.
Observational study in Medicine and science in sports and exercise, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeWhether G tolerance is correlated physical performances and cardiac force index (CFI) in male aircrew.
methodsOne month before the high G training, military flight cadets provided demographic data and details about their exercise habits. They wore BioPatch™ HP devices to track cardiac data, including walking CFI (WCFI), and during the 100-m sprint tests. Jump performance was assessed on the training day by measuring peak power output, peak power output normalized to total body mass, the product of force and time at the moment of the jump, and vertical jump height. Relaxed G tolerance and straining G tolerance were evaluated using a gradual onset rate. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationships between G tolerance, physical performance, and CFI.
resultsThere were 53 male trainees classified in the low tolerance group and 29 ones in the high tolerance group. The finish time for the sprint in the high tolerance group averaged 14.1 ± 1.0 s, which was shorter than the 14.4 ± 1.1 s recorded for the low tolerance group. A higher WCFI (>0.15 vs ≤0.15) before the sprint was consistently associated with enhanced G tolerance performance, with an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of 3.72 (95% confidence interval, 1.10-12.60). Conversely, the sprint completion time was negatively associated with G tolerance (adjusted odds ratio, 0.38; 95% confidence interval, 0.15-0.95).
conclusionsOur findings indicate that a higher WCFI and shorter sprint times prior to the high G training are positively correlated with the G tolerance. Aircrew training centers may integrate sprint and jump tests alongside cardiovascular monitoring to classify cadets into high or low G tolerance groups for further personalized training regimens.
