Figures & data
Table I. ANOVA results for centrifuge vs. control.
Figure 1 Changes in plasma hormone concentrations for the centrifuge group who were exposed to 3Gz for 15 min and for the control group. Measurements were made before the centrifuge started (PRE) after it stopped (POST) and one hour later (POST 1HR). Measurements for the control group were chronologically comparable. Data show means ± 95% confidence intervals. Asterisks indicate significant changes compared with the previous measurement (PRE vs. POST vs. POST 1HR): *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.

Figure 2 Changes in perceived physical state (PEPS) (left) and the two EZ-scale dimensions motivational state (middle) and psychological strain (right) for measurements at time points PRE, POST and POST 1HR. Data show means, standard error (boxes) and standard deviation. Crosses indicate changes compared to POST: †p < 0.05.

Figure 3 Detailed view on the significant PEPS subdimension perceived physical health (left) and on the significant EZ-scale subdimensions calmness (second), readiness to strain (third) and self-confidence (right) during measurements PRE, POST and POST 1HR. Data show means, standard error (boxes) and standard deviation. Asterisks indicate significant differences from PRE measurements: *p < 0.05. Crosses indicate significant differences from POST measurement: ††p < 0.01. Note that although self-confidence showed a significant effect in the ANOVA (), post-hoc comparison showed no significant differences between the measurements.
