- Information
Description
The physiological or psychological stresses that employees bring to their workplace affect not only their own performance but that of their co-workers and others.
These stresses are often compounded by those of the job itself.
Medical personnel, firefighters, police, and military personnel in combat settings--among others--experience highly unpredictable timing and types of stressors.
This book reviews and comments on the performance-enhancing potential of specific food components.
It reflects the views of military and non-military scientists from such fields as neuroscience, nutrition, physiology, various medical specialties, and performance psychology on the most up-to-date research available on physical and mental performance enhancement in stressful conditions.
Although placed within the context of military tasks, the volume will have wide-reaching implications for individuals in any job setting.
