Episode 2 - The Relevance of Heart Health to the Tactical Community\nDespite the media portrayal that the tactical community is made up exclusively of personnel resembling Greek demi-gods (we\u2019ll admit, there are one or two- looking at you Firefighters!), we\u2019re actually a pretty representative cross-section of the civilian population. We have similar proportions of super fit people and similar proportions of those who are\u2026 maybe not so much. \nIn this episode, the guys get into how developing heart health is vital if we want to look after the human inside the superhero costume. Using research and first hand experience, George and Matt explore the myriad of reasons why personnel on both ends of the tactical performance spectrum (from the \u2018tip of the spear\u2019 to the \u2018keyboard warriors\u2019) can benefit from strengthening the \u2018muscle that never tires\u2019.\n\nEverything we do here at SOFLETE is based on adding value to our community, so if you have any ideas, requests or questions, please feel free to reach out to us- either through SOFLETE social media or contact George and Matt directly via George@soflete.com or Matt@soflete.com.\n\nIn this episode, Matt talked about a research paper on the effects of a 13 month military deployment.
