Service Description

Expected deliverables: This course is aimed at providing the participants with a toolkit to address and mitigate the unique challenges facing pilots operating high-performance aircraft. These challenges include the significant physical and mental stress placed on the human body during high-G manoeuvres. This course contains a significant amount of content from the Enhanced Professional Soldier Course, and so provides many of the deliverables from that course in addition to catering to the very specific challenges faced by military and other high-performance pilots. Note that heavy load carriage over extended periods of time is omitted from the Enhanced High Performance Pilot Course due to time constraints. This component can be accommodated as an additional feature if desired. Learn the use of specialized breath control techniques to increase the strength of the spine by offsetting load and expanding the space between vertebra while standing and seated. Use these techniques to reduce spinal compression under load while standing or seated. Learn how to use these techniques to offset imbalances in fluid and blood pressure that occur during high-G manoeuvres and that can lead to impaired mental function and loss of consciousness. Includes the application of these specialized breath control and internal pressure control techniques within a wide array of training instances over the duration of the course to solidify these techniques as instinctive responses. Includes some basic stretches to improve mobility and flexibility of key joint areas. Expected course duration: Minimum 12 Week Course, 2 lessons per week, 1-2 hour per lesson. All participants must complete a basic theory course component and questionnaire online prior to attending the course. Expected outcomes: Decreased load-carriage related spinal compression (60 to >100%). Increased activation of key muscles that support and protect the spine (increases of up to 130%, depending on exercise and muscle groups). Increased ability to pressurize the abdominal and pelvic cavity to support the spine (56 - 138%). Increased core stability (52 - 64%). Increased general strength and increased sustained grappling strength (17 to 58%). Increased impulse of strikes (80%).
