Human Performance
Performance Nutrition
- provides fuel and allows the body to repair & develop itself
- Aerobic
- releases more energy, but takes longer to get released
- low-intensity, endurance type activities
(i.e. long distance running & swimming)
- Anaerobic
- releases less energy, but does it very quickly
- high-intensity short bouts of activity (i.e. springs & weightlifting)
MACRO-nutrients
MICRO-nutrients
1. Carbohydrates
- Vitamins and minerals (supplements)
- starch & sugars
- short-term, high-intensity energy source
- 50% of calories come from carbohydrates
2. Fats
- preferred fuel for aerobic exercise; mild- to moderate-intensity exercise
- 30% of calories come from fat
3. Proteins
- not a preferred energy source
- when carbs are short in supply, proteins broken down to amino acid & converted to glucose
- insufficient intake leads to failure to repair body tissues
- 20% of calorie intake
4.Water
Functional Training
- Any type of exercise that has a direct relationship to the activities you perform in your daily life.
- Need Warrior Ethos to push myself and support my team.
High Intensity Exercise Endurance (HIEE)
- Maximum physical effort systematically applied to a technically developed motor skill.

difficult to enter as an outsider.
- Examples: Japan, China, etc...
Low Context Cultures
-Societies or groups that are task-centered, rule oriented, have interpersonal connections of shorter duration, and believe that
knowledge is transferrable.
-Example: America

Values - what we regard as right and fair; believe to be of worth & importance in their life
Morals - attribute to a system of beliefs to define right from wrong, good vs bad
Ethics - characterize people when they act in ways consistent w/ societal moral values
Ethical Relativism: no absolutes

the definition of right or wrong depends on the prevailing view of a particular
individual, culture, or historical period.

Rules (ethical guidance)
Results (outcomes, bttm line)
Realities (importance of situation, circumstances)
Discern (truth)
Declare (truth)
Do (what we discerned & declared)
The three Os: owing, ordering, and oughting state that we must know who and what we owe, display proper ordering by
having moral structuring and ethical priorities, and understand what Airmen should do or ought to do.
The three Ps: principle, purpose, people are in the context that NCOs must put principle (truth telling and honor) first;
purpose (mission accomplishment and duty) second; and people (fellow citizens, Airmen, Soldiers, etc.) third.
The three Rs: rules, results, and realities explain that rules give us ethical guidance, results are the outcomes, the bottom
line, and the consequences of following or not following those rules, and realities, which recognize the importance of the
situation, circumstances, or realities.
The three Ds: discern, declare, and do state that we must try to discern the truth; at appropriate times, we declare the
truth, as we have discerned it; and then we do what we have discerned and declared.
Ethical Behaviors pg 6
- if ethical leaders are completely aware of their personal ethics/organization ethics, the behavior of those leaders should be consistent w/ both ethical codes
Ethical Traps
1. Ethical Relativism - personal values/beliefs rather than military rules, regulations and codes of conduct
2. Loyalty Syndrome - decisions based on respect/loyalty to an individual or unit rather than military rules, regulations and codes of conduct
3. Worry Over Image - decisions based on how the decision will impact ones reputation/standing among peers, subordinates, supervisors, etc. rather than military rules, regulations
and codes of conduct
4. Driven by Success - win at all cost attitude rather than on military rules, regulations and codes of conduct
