Summary

The aim of the research is to evaluate the influence of physical and cognitive load as pre-mission activity on the soldier's physical and cognitive performance, in compare to physical load alone.

In order to do so, 12 healthy subjects will perform stimulated road march using a virtual reality environment combined with cognitive load and without, and their physical and cognitive performance will be evaluated by tests before and after.

Conditions

  • Physical Examination

Interventions

OTHER

protocol of using CAREN and MOTEK systems

The subjects will perform randomly 3 experimental days (at least weak between one to another): * simulated road march using a virtual reality environment without additional load * simulated road march using a virtual reality environment which combines cognitive load during the road march. Cognitive tasks for example: navigation, identification and remembering cars/aircraft. * without physical or cognitive load (without march, waiting between performance evaluations) as control.
