This has led to a greater role for explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technicians to neutralise the threat of… Read More
Research Paper Title Moving in Extreme Environments: Extreme Loading; Carriage versus Distance. Abstract This review addresses human capacity for movement in the context of extreme loading and with it the combined effects of metabolic, biomechanical and gravitational stress on the human body. This topic encompasses extreme duration, as occurs in ultra-endurance competitions (e.g. adventure racing… Read More
Research Paper Title Differences in Physical Characteristics and Performance Measures of Part-Time and Full- Time Tactical Personnel: A Critical Narrative Review. Background Tactical personnel such as military, law enforcement and fire and rescue personnel routinely perform physically strenuous occupational tasks, requiring strength, endurance and cardiovascular fitness. Tactical populations are comprised of part-time and full-time personnel, with… Read More
Just completed a 7-Miler TAB (loaded march) carrying 38 lb in 1 hr 15 min (ish). The time is approximate as I didn’t take a watch (I dropped the kids of at 0800/0805 and was back in the house slightly before 0915). Mainly undulating terrain, running on pavement. Physically my body was up for the… Read More
