Due to the physical & cognitive demands of the #afspecwar pipeline, attrition is common, especially due to bone stress injuries. In this short video, our #embedded research flight explains risk factors and ways to mitigate these kinds of injuries.
Last week, our #humanperformance team at the Combat Control schoolhouse hosted a training about force plate & dynamometer testing. These tools provide objective data about peak force & torque to be considered in the decision making process for RTD & return to fitness.
Pic of the week. Early morning ruck. 60 lbs, 15 min/mile pace. 4-6 miles today. Our #humanperformance professionals play a key role in preparing students for the rigors of the #afspecwar pipeline.
