Increasing Performance on Tactical Aerobic Endurance Tasks
August 24, 2018by Daniel Cooper, MS, CSCS, TSAC-F
When isolating aerobic capacity as a determinant of performance, traditional interventions have focused on increasing an individual’s VO2max. Based on the large acute improvements from a single positive psychology research study, investigations into the application of integrated psychophysiological strategies to optimize performance should be explored.

Effects of Core Instability on Muscle Activity
January 15, 2019by Developing the Core
Potentially, an instability training program that first involves static balance and then progresses to dynamic balance activities would improve intrinsic balance. This improvement in balance would increase movement confidence, releasing the neuromuscular system from a stiffening strategy to more unimpeded motion, force, and power development.
