Enhancing A Stress-Recovery-Biomarker-Performance Research Platform
Abstract
The equipment request in this proposal is grounded in the desire to purchase equipmentthat will allow an enhancement of our established research capabilities and initiatives in studyingthe multi-dimensional recovery processes in the warfighter. Such evaluations require multidimensionalassessment systems in order develop the composite understanding of recovery. Inaddition, the use of the latest recovery modalities are also needed to study interventions and theireffectiveness. Stressors, from sleep deprivation, environmental, mental, and physical exercise allchallenge the warfighter~s recovery capabilities. Validating intervention strategies anddeveloping prediction models for improved resilience and long term health outcomes inwarfighters and tactical operators is an ongoing area of study. We also will use such anintegrated platform and testing capabilities for monitoring physical exercise training programsdirected at injury prevention and physical readiness for operational demands. Building onexisting capabilities in the Human Performance Laboratory in the Department of HumanSciences at The Ohio State University, we seek to establish one of the premier research stressrecovery-biomarker-performance laboratories for studying optimal procedures and protocols forrecovery following a myriad of stressful events. In addition, it will allow us to collaborate morefully with colleagues in the Department of Defense and academic institutions interested in stressand recovery research.
