Full-spectrum Human Performance Optimization (HPO) is essential for Special Operations Forces (SOF). Adequate hydration is essential to all aspects of performance (physical and cognitive) and recovery. Water losses occur as a result of physical activity and can increase further depending on clothing and environmental conditions. Without intentional and appropriate strategic hydration planning, Operators are at increased risk for degradation in performance and exertional heat illness. The purpose of this article is to highlight current best practices for maintaining hydration before, during, and after activity, while considering various environmental conditions. Effective leadership and planning are necessary for preparing Operators for successful military operations.
全方位人体性能优化(HPO)对特种作战部队(SOF)至关重要。适当的水合作用对于身体和认知表现和恢复的各个方面都很重要。水的流失是由身体活动引起的,如果穿着和环境条件不同,流失量还会进一步增加。如果没有有目的和适当的战略补水计划,作战人员在表现和运动性热病方面的风险就会增加。本文的目的是强调在活动前、活动中和活动后保持水合作用的当前最佳实践,同时考虑到各种环境条件。有效的领导和规划对于为作战人员的成功军事行动做好准备是必要的。
