Legal, & Medical
Definition of combat anxiety? - ANSWER Anticipation of danger.
Definition of survival stress? - ANSWER Deadly force threat that activates the
sympathetic nervous system.
Definition of combat stress? - ANSWER Mental / psychological symptons of going from
SNS to PNS "backlash."
How can you manage backlash? - ANSWER Laying horizontally, eating fast burning
carbohydrates.
Autonomic nervous system has two branches. - ANSWER Parasympathetic Nervous
System (PNS) & Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS)
Four triggers that activate SNS are? - ANSWER Objective threat perceptions, objective
fear perceptions, physical exhaustion, startle response
Physical exhaustion is caused by depletion of this fuel system? - ANSWER adenosine
triphosphate / phoshocreatin (ATP)
when the SNS is triggered it causes? - ANSWER increased adrenal activity,
vasoconstriction, & perception narrowing
SNS activation can also cause critical incident amnesia, how does sleep help? -
ANSWER First sleep period increases recall of events 50-90%, most complete recovery
after second sleep perod

for 10-15 seconds, then decrease up to 45%
Lactic acid system provides what energy level? - ANSWER 45 seconds of intermediate
energy after ATP system used up.
After 90 seconds the ATP system and then the lactic acid system are used up leaving
what system? - ANSWER Aerobic system where you are at 31% output
What law states if you have more than one option to select from you reaction time
increases? - ANSWER Hicks Law
