Moderate Physical Work Effects on Performance and Mood during Sustained Operations (SUSOPS)

Abstract

Several factors influence the quality of sustained performance when work requirements include both physical and mental components: physical fitness/ endurance training, rest quantity, physical and mental intensity, environment, number and duration of sustained work operations, and the interactions (timing and quantity effects) of these factors. The extent to which an individual can endure intensive high tech sustained operations is not fully understood. Additionally what enhancement or prophalactic procedures are effective under these conditions is of interest. This problem required study in order to predict and plan for the human factor in future military engagements. This study (one of a series) was primarily concerned with mental effectiveness during continuous work with physical demands.
