Segovia, M, Salmon, OF, Ugale, C, and Smith, CM. The effects of cold exposure, hypoxia, and fatigue on pistol marksmanship and target engagement decision making in trained marksmen. J Strength Cond Res 38(11): e686-e694, 2024-This study aimed to examine the effects of cold exposure, hypoxia, and fatigue on pistol marksmanship and target engagement in trained marksmen.

Impact of acute hypoxic exposure on neuromuscular and hemodynamic responses during step intensity dynamic constant external resistance leg extension exercise.

Objectives: This study examined the effects of acute normoxic and hypoxic exposure on neuromuscular and hemodynamic physiological responses performed during dynamic step muscle actions.

Methods: Thirteen recreationally active men (mean ± SD age: 21.2 ± 2.

The impact of cold, hypoxia, and physical exertion on pistol accuracy and tactical performance.

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of independent cold and combined cold and hypoxic exposures on operational-specific task performance including pistol marksmanship, pistol magazine reload ability, and subjective and objective thermal indices before and after a whole-body physical exertional task. Twelve participants were exposed to Thermoneutral Normoxic (24 °C; FiO 21%), Cold Normoxic (10 °C; FiO 21%), and Cold Hypoxic (10 °C; FiO 14%) conditions for 30min before performing pistol marksmanship at distances of 6.40 and 13.
