Effects of Acute Stress on Psychophysiology in Armed Tactical Occupations: A Narrative Review

Abstract: The ability to perform under extreme pressure is one of the most sought-after qualities in both sports and tactical (military, law enforcement, fire, and rescue, etc.) occupations. While tactical performance relies on both physical and mental capabilities to achieve a desired outcome, it is often hampered by the stressful environments in which these personnel work. The acute stress experienced by tactical personnel can interfere with occupational performance, impacting both physical execution of tasks and deci… Show more

“…The results of studying the influence of acute stress on the psychophysiology of representatives of dangerous professions showed that the reaction to stress includes a cascade of adaptive neurophysiological reactions initiated by the brain and periphery through the autonomic nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis [58]. The two major components of the stress response have been shown to be the sympathoadrenal medullary system and hypothalamic pituitary-adrenal axis, with the sympathoadrenal medullary system primarily involved in the acute response and the hypothalamic pituitary-adrenal axis being responsible for long-term protection [45].…”

“…However, the psychophysiological ramifications of combat transcend the immediacy of initial responses. Extended exposure to the rigours of combat stress can give rise to an array of enduring psychological and physiological challenges [ 8 ]. Of notable concern is the emergence of chronic stress, marked by heightened cortisol levels, a factor with the potential to detrimentally impact cognitive functions and decision-making abilities over the long term [ 9 ].…”
