Our #embedded coaches worked with cadre to create a circuit training for a paramedic course, consisting of exercises to spike the student's HR interspersed with paramedic-based tasks. All designed to teach students how to down-regulate & perform fine-motor tasks under fatigue.

Students preparing for Combat Control Apprentice got some fast roping practice. Grip strength & technique are critical pieces to successfully execute this skill, and our #embedded #humanperformance teams help prepare students to have the necessary strength for fast-roping.💪

Kudos to Lt Col Butler, DPT PhD, who presented at last week's 2nd Annual Aircrew Human Performance Summit in FL. He highlighted lessons learned & initiatives related to the role & impact of #embedded #humanperformance professionals in the #afspecwar pipeline.

Due to the extensive swim & water confidence training in the #afspecwar pipeline, our #embedded medical teams diagnose & treat pulmonary edema. Pictured is our Director of Sports Med, Dr. Hintz-Merseal, performing a ultrasound to compare the severity of water-related injuries.

Happy🐪Day! Here's a 📷 of a morning's conditioning session before the 🌞 comes up and it gets really warm here in TX. Our #embedded coaches program extensive use of free weights, especially sand bags, worms and kettle bells, all designed to prepare #afspecwar trainees.
