The purpose of this observational study is to understand and evaluate the physiological, psychological, and cognitive impact of 15 consecutive days of air search and rescue mission deployments on Portuguese Air Force crews. The main goals are: 1) Characterize and compare the body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, and strength levels of air force search and rescue mission crew members with different tasks; 2) Characterize the physiological, psychological and cognitive impacts induced by a single deployment; 3) Identify possible cumulative effects of successive deployments on the variables of interest; 3) Characterize the changes in lifestyle, quality of sleep and nutrition induced by the deployments. The participants will be evaluated after a period of hollidays, before missions, during missions, upon arrival, for a period of twelve months, and at the end of twelve months.
