Episode 2 - How Understanding the Nervous System is Relevant to the Tactical Community\nIn this episode, George and Matt discuss how being able to make some sense of the nervous system can help enhance performance and resilience, specifically for the tactical professional. \nIn doing so, the guys dive into the role of the autonomic nervous system and consider how the stress response requirements have changed in humans over the last 1000 years. \nMatt explains that for a lot of this to make sense, we need to consider the response to both acute and chronic stress. For instance, from a performance enhancement perspective, we need to identify what \u2018state\u2019 might be optimal for the completion of a given task (e.g. long range shooting) and then learn how to bridge the gap from our current state, to that desired state.\nGeorge then unpacks how Heart Rate Variability (HRV) can be used as a tool for quantifying state, thus providing a baseline from which to experiment.\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\nPlease see below for a few resources, linked to today\u2019s episode, that you might find useful:\nHow to measure your BOLT score (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Scy-_hWLAr0&t=47s)\nUnplugged by Brian MacKenzie, Dr A Galpin & Phil White (https://www.amazon.com/Unplugged-Technology-Upgrade-Performance-Consciousness/dp/1628602619)\nAn interesting read on an evolutionary perspective of stress (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1560227/)\nNSCA\u2019s Essentials of Sports Science (https://www.nsca.com/certification/cpss/essentials-of-sport-science/)
