International Journal of Psychophysiology, 110, 212-216. https://doi.org/10.1016/J.IJPSYCHO.2016.07.5020167-876010.1016/j.ijpsycho.2016.07.502https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/110591We aimed to analyse the effect of experience level in the psychophysiological response and specific fine motor skills of novel and expert parachute warfighters during a tactical combat parachute jump. We analysed blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, salivary cortisol, blood glucose, lactate and creatinkinase, leg strength, isometric hand-grip strength, cortical arousal, specific fine motor skills and cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety and self-confident before and after a tactical combat parachute jump in 40 warfighters divided in two group, novel (n = 17) and expert group (n = 23). Novels presented a higher heart rate, lactate, cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety and a lower self-confident than experts during the jump. We concluded that experience level has a direct effect on the psychophysiological response since novel paratroopers presented a higher psychophysiological response than compared to the expert ones, however this result neither affected the specific fine motor skills nor the muscle structure after a tactical combat parachute jump.engExperience modulates the psychophysiological response of airborne warfighters during a tactical combat parachute jumpjournal article1872-7697https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpsycho.2016.07.502https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167876016306353?via%3Dihubrestricted access159.91159.94612.7355.11StressParachute jumpNovel-expert paradigmMilitaryAnxietyCortisolStrengthHeart ratePsicología experimentalPsicología fisiológicaEstrés y relajaciónCiencia militar6106 Psicología Experimental6106.10 Psicología Fisiológica2411.06 Fisiología del Ejercicio2411.18 Fisiología del Movimiento
