Effects of Long-Duration O2 Exposure on Muscle Performance and Oxidative Stress in Navy Divers

Abstract

This proposed project will be a collaborative effort between Navy Experimental Diving Unit(John Florian) and Florida State University to better understand, analyze, and implement future training doctrine and policies with regards to hyperoxic exposures during long-duration dive scenarios. Fundamentally, hyperoxic conditions can lead to oxygen toxicity during single and frequent long-duration dives. When mission parameters dictate these types of dives, the hyperoxic conditions can pose a major physiological challenge for naval divers??? mission accomplishment. A better understanding of these effects will assist in shaping future training doctrine and development of countermeasures to be used by Fleet divers and special warfare personnel.
