Good to get our work developing Physical Employment Standards for the @MODPolice out there! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38251086/

Very excited to see our opinion piece on Regular physical activity across the lifespan to build resilience against rising global temperatures in @eBioMedicine. Part of @TheLancet Discovery Science. @UC_RISE @EnvPhysiolLab @IntegrPhysLab sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are looking for someone with a background in physiology / nutrition and who has an interest in working on applied projects across Defence. Come and join the team! civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/index.cgi?…

Job Alert - 4-year Post-Doctoral Research Associate (MSKI-PREVENT) Come and join us at the University of Bath at we start this new research programme. See adverts below: lnkd.in/eY2F3F3V lnkd.in/eTpnXiCH

24 days of data collection complete investigating the physiological demands of operating in the Extreme Cold Weather environment. A great insight into the requirements of working in such arduous conditions.

Good to have two of the team out in Oklahoma representing the INM and presenting some recent work for the 5th International Physical Employment Standards (PES) Conference. Looking forward to hearing about it!

Great to wrap up some testing with the @hmsoardacious crew. Best of luck for the row, we know you’ll smash it!

Great job @AliBooker_RD! Excellent programme which will have real impact on how we support our people!

Physical Employment Standards following systematic steps to improve their specificity to the occupational role, scientific rigour & transparency. This makes them a better tool for assessing occupational fitness. ⬇️

Both components of the new PES-JRFT are performed while wearing a 20kg weighted vest to replicate operational PPE. ⬇️

These infographics provide a breakdown of the new standard, which was implemented following a 3yr study into the national role profile for AFO-CT officers.

ROLE RELATED FITNESS | If you are an AFO in the Ministry of Defence Police (MDP) or considering joining as a recruit or transferee, you must pass the new Physical Employment Standard (PES). This replaces the 15m bleep test (MSFT) of Level 7:6. #PoliceFitness 🧵

Calling all fire service personnel (current or retired, UK or abroad! Please help @_emilyrw, @HughFullagar, and I establish the prevalence (& associated risk factors) of health conditions within the service by completing our survey. Please RT widely

Exciting new PhD position with @LuanaCMain @seannotley @drdoug_7 and myself, investigating physiological, cognitive and biochemical responses to repeated daily heat exposures. Candidates will be based @covcampus, spending some time in 🇦🇺 @Deakin coventry.ac.uk/research/resea…

We have received many recent media enquiries asking how a #heatwave impacts the human body. Here is a short animation from @HeatHealth_USYD that explains the physiological impacts based on our 2021 paper @TheLancet: thelancet.com/journals/lance… @Sydney_Uni #LeadershipForGood

Only 2-weeks left to apply for our fully funded 3.5 year PhD studentship exploring the physiological and behavioural determinants of musculoskeletal health in military personnel. Come and study with me @JBilzon @Gonzalez_JT and @MaxJWestern findaphd.com/phds/project/p…

We were proud to host the inaugural @BleepKind expo. Opened by @HantsRajKohli, the expo is the first of its kind in policing to bring together colleagues from across the UK's police forces, and experts in fitness, health and wellbeing. Read more⬇️ link.medium.com/ClPbxYAJvyb
