Evaluation de L'Effet du Vieillissement des Equipages sur les Consequences du Decalage Horaire (Evaluation of Crew Members Aging on Jet-Lag Consequences)
Abstract
Travel across multiple time zones triggers a disruption of the body's circadian timing mechanisms of crew members and military force. It entails a desynchronization syndrome which depends on individual sensitivity. Weakness and sleep disorders are usually affected and cognitive (mood and attention) and physical (power and endurance) performances can be decreased. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a possible effect of age on individual sensitivity for a jet-lag.
