“…It is a complex test in terms of difficulty of execution, with high intensity and short work volume. This test diagnoses the subjects in terms of ability to adapt motor activities to changing conditions and situations (orientation), quick reaction, balance and motor adaptation to the pilot's work environment [ 5 , 6 ]. The exercise stations are set in the right order in such a way that they provide a stimulus of influence for those muscle parts that are involved in the anti-overload maneuver.…”

“…Therefore, the modern process of directed fitness preparation of pilots requires monitoring of physical loads (to ensure optimal load), appropriate selection and motor adaptation (predisposition) in the pilot's working environment. The Aviation Synthetic Efficiency Test (ASET) and an analytical test consisting of a 40 m run, a 100 m run, a 1000 m run, and a pull-ups were used to achieve this goal [ 5 – 8 ]. Determination of baseline motor predispositions was necessary to identify the motor types that would achieve maximum performance while completing the ASET [ 7 ].…”

“…The pilot's directed training process loaded the skeletal muscles required to perform maneuver-1, and thus induced physiological changes in the body, such as a change in heart rate and changes in body components after its execution. Moreover, changes in body composition components could extend the diagnostic value of pilots' directed flight preparation [5,[11][12][13]. They were an important factor in modifying a pilot's diet [14], as well as the intensity (load) of exercise.…”

Objectives The aim of the study was to check the changes in the level of physical fitness and body composition after a directed training process in cadets—pilots, in relation to control group. Material and methods The study involved 29 cadets studying at the Air Force Military Academy in Dęblin. Group A (study group)—second year pilots (n = 17), male, with an average age of 19.94 ± 1.3 years, studying to become an aircraft pilot, who realized 35-h directed training process based on the Aviation Synthetic Efficiency Test (ASET) and group B (control group)—second year in the field of ground navigation (n = 12), male, with an average age of 19.83 ± 1.27 years, completing the standard physical education process. In both groups, the fitness tests and physiological studies were conducted twice time: before starting the training process—study I; after the training process—study II. Fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), muscle mass (MM), total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW) and intracellular water (ICW) were measurement with using the bioimpedance method with using body composition analyzer the AKERN 101 type BIA 101SE. Results In group A in study II, fitness was at a good level, while in group B it was below the standard expected for pilots. There was statistically significant decrease in fat mass (FM) and increase in fat-free mass (FFM), muscle mass (MM), total body water (TBW) in group A compared to group B. In study II, group A showed no significant correlation between ASET and FM, FFM, MM, TBW while group B showed statistically significant correlations. Conclusions The results obtained in study II showed an increase in directed physical fitness in groups A and B, as measured by ASET. In both groups A and B, the training process decreased FM and increased FFM, MM, and TBW, but a greater effect of these changes was observed in group A.

“…This issue does not lose relevance with the technological progression of military aircraft. The pilot's psychomotor development is the key to quick decision-making, ordering mental processes, and perfect coordination of motor and mental activities (Tomczak, 2015;Tomczak et al, 2019;Wochyński et al, 2020a;Wochyński, 2021Wochyński, , 2022. At the same time, the level of physical fitness and cognitive features of a pilot cannot be treated as separate phenomena.…”

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.

ObjectivesSpecial aerial gymnastics instruments (SAGI) are permanent elements of specialist training for cadet pilots. Appropriate physical activity and fitness are essential for performing the tasks of military pilots. Therefore, one of the main goals of cadet training is to develop adaptation to the extreme conditions of a military pilot’s work. This study aimed to determine the effect of the SAGI training process for cadet pilots on their aldolase and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, LDH enzymatic index (iZO), C-reactive protein (CRP) and haptoglobin (HP) levels, and physical fitness.Material and MethodsParticipating in this study were 55 cadets, aged 20 ± 0.70 years, in two groups. In group A (n = 41, tested) cadets were trained on SAGI with an emphasis on endurance and strength. In group B (n = 14, control), the cadets performed general fitness training. Blood samples were collected before and after training series I, II, and III. LDH and its isoenzyme activity, aldolase, CRP, and HP levels were assayed in blood serum using commercially available tests, and the iZO value was calculated.ResultsA downward trend was observed in HP and CRP levels in both groups after all three training series. In group A after training, LDH and aldolase activity was lower than in group B. However, in both groups, a significant increase of iZO values was observed after training series II and III in group A, p < 0.001, p < 0.05, respectively, and in group B, p < 0.05 and p < 0.0005, respectively. Physical fitness also improved in both groups.ConclusionThe course of the SAGI exercises showed that the iZO value depends on physical exercise intensity, its type, and cadet adaptation.
