PART III Military Issues PART III INCLUDES THREE CHAPTERS in which the performance and measurement issues of interest to the military are reviewed. The first chapter is a discussion of four categories of physiological factors that are involved in physical task performance: metabolic capacity, neuromotor control, energy substrates, and tissue homeostasis. The second chapter presents a review of recent research on sleep deprivation and its effects on performance during continuous combat operations, and the third chapter provides an overview of the history, methodological approaches, and methodological issues related to research in food intake, contextual factors, and performance enhancement.
