Diving training, including hyperbaric and physical exercises, improved arterial compliance in military divers. This training did not induce arterial alterations, suggesting it is safe for vascular health.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Physiology
  • Diving Medicine
  • Sports Science

Background:

  • Diving stressors like hyperbaric exposure can affect arterial circulation.
  • Understanding vascular adaptations to diving training is crucial for diver safety and performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate arterial modifications in military divers undergoing specific training.
  • To assess the impact of repeated hyperbaric exposures and physical training on arterial hemodynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Arterial pressure and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were measured in 12 student military divers before and after 15 weeks of training.
  • A control group of 12 healthy non-divers was used for comparison.
  • Carotid-femoral and carotid-pedal PWV were assessed, along with systolic and pulse pressures.

Main Results:

  • Student military divers showed decreased systolic and pulse pressures post-training.
  • A significant increase in pulse transit time relative to RR interval was observed between carotid and femoral arteries.
  • Trained divers exhibited higher aerobic capacity, lower resting heart rate, and lower baseline PWV compared to controls.

Conclusions:

  • Diving training incorporating repeated exposures and endurance exercises enhances central arterial compliance.
  • The study found no evidence of detrimental arterial alterations resulting from repeated diving exposures in trained military personnel.
