hmm...I understand how from a learning theory perspective one would habituate and become desensitized to the anxiety provoking stimulus. It's the old saying that the only way to conquer fear is to face it. OK. But You say there is only a finite production of adrenaline/epinephrine.... Do multiple jumps produce adrenal fatigue then? How does the body not experience jumping as a chronic stressor if you do it regularly? What about cortisol, chronic sympathetic arousal etc...? I'll check out Grey

Thank you. I am also finding some intresting journal articles on medline.

I am new to the sport, happen to be studying stress physiolgy and am looking for skydiving specific research.

I GUESS I NEED TO PREFACE THIS- THIS IS NOT ABOUT ADRENALINE JUNKIES IT IS SIMPLY AN INTREST IN PHYSIOLOGY AND BEING INFORMED ! Anyone know where to find some good research on the positive and negative impacts of continual exposure to adrenaline on the body? Does the body habituate to the sympathetic arousal experienced during skydiving? Eustress vs. stress.....I have a list of questions.
