Core Human Performance R&D - Clinical Translational Focus (AF)
Abstract
This project area seeks to enhance, optimize & sustain performance of Air Force personnel through the evaluation and alleviation of health effects associated with carrying out assigned missions. This work addresses unique Air Force training and operational environments such as the mitigation of Musculoskeletal Injury on personnel in Air Force Basic Training and high demand operations. The sub-project areas include: Cognitive Performance which includes assessing Impact of Recurrent Hypobaric Exposure, Physical Performance and Targeted Conditioning which includes providing Evidence Based Prevention Strategies and Health Programs for Optimal Performance, and Identification of Clinical Solutions to Mitigate Operational and Environmental Challenges to Performance. Optimization of Human Capital Selection: Prognostic parameters to the success of airmen in various career field in particular sustain Airmen Trainee Health. These will include selection in mental, social, and physical determinants. These also may include genomic indicators that might suggest physical and mental resiliency to different occupational stressors (tasks, environment, etc.…) and indicators to recovery to baseline to different occupational stressors or frank injury/disease.
