The following list includes some keypoints of why TACFIT is considered a system of recovery first and foremost. Using physical training as a tool to maximize the efficeincy at which our body responds to any and all stresses, physical, emotional and physiological. TACFIT is the only fitness system which focuses on RECOVERY, where all growth and development occurs. Where other “hard-‐core, extreme” methods attempt to force you to exercise harder than you’re able to hold proper technique, in ways that hurt and injure you, TACFIT combines active recovery, recuperative breathing techniques, restorative mobility drills and compensatory yoga poses and flows.
- The same neurochemical phenomena experienced during high stress emergency crises and violent encounters can be produced through post heart rate maximum exercise. These psycho-trophic phenomena include tunnel vision, time warp (tachipsychia), auditory exclusion, cognitive dysfunction, short term memory loss, fumbling, feinting, loss of coordination in fine and complex motor skills.
- These phenomena do not happen below the heart rate maximum, and they are eliminated when the heart rate drops beneath maximum.
- Active recovery methods can be used to rapidly drop the heart rate under maximum; such as breathing techniques, biofeedback, vibration drills, mental strategies, et cetera.
- The nervous system cannot differentiate between types of stress; it only knows cumulative magnitude of stress.
- These active recovery methods re-stabilize volatile biochemistry irrespective of type of stress, and so can be internalized through practice during post heart rate maximum exercise stress.
- Since the nervous system cannot differentiate between types of stress, these active recovery methods practiced during exercise intensity transfer with accessibility during any high stress event, though the more specific the movements to the projected crisis, the faster the recall of the recovery methods.
- Reducing heart rate to beneath maximum has been proven to increase discretionary decision making skills, increase accuracy and precision, improve skill effectiveness and enhance survival.
- As stress-related illness and disease is the world’s number one killer, with the tactical community having a national average mortality rate of 54 years, improving high stress recovery skills has a direct correlation to improved health and longevity.
- Therefore, practicing rapid recovery methods from high intensity exercise using movements related to the expected crisis will improve survival, effectiveness, discretionary capacity, cognitive function, as well as health and longevity.
And you do not have to be a first-responder or military operator to experience the benefits. That is why TACFIT has proliferated from beyond the battle lines and into the homes, gyms, and training routines of people from all walks of life all around the world. TACFIT is performance optimization in every sense of our lives. Moving, thinking, deciding, reacting, and the list goes on.
