TACH2F

Tactical Athletes operate in physically demanding environments, making injury mitigation, recovery, and performance optimization critical. This seminar will explore how emerging technologies can enhance training, monitor health, and mitigate the risk of injuries. Experts in various human performance sciences will teach attendees about the theoretical and practical applications of technology in tactical settings. Topics will include:
- Understanding sleep's role in recovery and using technology to track rest.
- Measuring and optimizing movement patterns, physical fitness, and nutrition for sustained performance
- Enhancing performance and resilience by tracking physiological responses.
- Integrating real-time data to personalize training programs and enhance tactical readiness
We invite anyone interested in improving their personal or organizational health and performance to join this event.
- First responders (law enforcement, fire/rescue, paramedics, military)
- Tactical instructors
- Strength and conditioning coaches
- Health and rehabilitation individuals interested in working with tactical personnel
Speakers
The speakers will include medical doctors, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and researchers who focus on Occupational Health and Tactical Athletes. See their full profiles at the registration website.
