Abstract
Studies performed in conjunction with the Whitewater Res-cue Institute explored how occupational clothing impairs performance during swimming with and without use of a personal flotation device (PFD). A collaboration with Dr. Bianca Miarka in Brazil and the Fight Metrix team studied technical/tactical effort and injury patterns of elite-level athletes in judo tournaments and mixed martial arts events. Come hear what these projects and others have discovered, along with strategies to prevent swift water emergencies.
