Load Carriage For The Tactical Operator: Impacts And Conditioning - A Review, Rob Marc Orr
Load Carriage For The Tactical Operator: Impacts And Conditioning - A Review, Rob Marc Orr
Rob Marc Orr
Tactical operators are required to carry loads as part of their occupations. Carriage of these loads have been associated with causing physical injuries to the carrier and impairing their ability to perform occupational tasks. One potential means of negating these risks associated with load carriage tasks is through physically conditioning the carrier. Through use of the Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type (F.I.T.T.) formula this review explored the literature to determine the optimal conditioning stimulus to enhance the resilience of tactical operators required to perform load carriage tasks. It was determined that a conditioning stimulus of one load carriage session every …
Effects Of Lift Velocity On Muscle Activation During Leg Extension, Stephen C. Glass
Effects Of Lift Velocity On Muscle Activation During Leg Extension, Stephen C. Glass
Stephen C Glass
Abstract: It is not known if manipulating velocity within a prescribed resistance training mode will improve muscle activation. Muscle activations of the Rectus Femoris (RF), Vastus Lateralis (VL), Vastus Medialis (VM) and Bicep Femoris (BF) were examined during a leg extension exercise at 3 different velocities on 15 subjects (10men, 5 female, Age = 21.5 ± 1.8 yrs, Height = 171.2 ± 12.5 cm, Mass = 75.5 ± 16.3 kg). Trials of 1 set of 10 repetitions at 60% of 1RM, were performed at 15, 30 and 60º/s. Bipolar surface electrodes were placed over the BF, RF, VL, and VM. …
The Royal Military College Physical Conditioning Optimisation Review: A Four Year Project To Improve Physical Health And Fitness While Reducing Injuries, Robin Orr
Rob Marc Orr
This session presents a unique insight into the Physical Conditioning Optimisation Review; a four year project to reduce musculoskeletal injuries at the Royal Military College. It will highlight the benefits and potential pitfalls of an injury surveillance program and the importance of identifying cultural and contextual factors that influence risks and risk controls. Lessons learnt and subsequent actions taken by the review will be explored and the impact of dedicated managerial support and effective leadership discussed.
