2006: USU and HPO
• A pivotal conference in June 2006
“to chart a course” for the future
• Urgent need to:
– Define HPO
– Identify valid metrics for HPO
– Translate research results into
operational technologies
– Improve communication among medical,
research, and operational communities Deuster PA, O’Connor FG, Henry KA, Martindale VE, Talbot L, Jonas W,

“To be the premier Department of Defense (DoD) translational biomedical resource in the area of
military-unique Human Performance Optimization (HPO) for maximizing warrior performance in the
operational environment and resilience of the global military family.”
“To conduct and translate basic and clinical research in military human performance, so as to inform the
development of educational products, clinical products, clinical care pathways, operational
guidelines, and health policies. The goals of these efforts are to maximize deployability, expedite
warrior return to duty, and optimize resilience and performance of warriors and military families.”

How do we use this model to
conduct research on
human performance?
What are some options?

Past and Current
Research Paradigm
Apply an
Intervention
Analyze data
for cognitive
or physical
performance
measure(s)
Yes or No
based on
“mean” change
![Page 53: Consortium for Health and Military Performance (CHAMP)herl.pitt.edu/symposia/adaptive-reconditioning/presentations/... · Consortium for Health and Military Performance (CHAMP)](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022008/5ae317fd7f8b9a90138d1274/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
But data show that we
are not all the same!
People respond differently to
the same intervention!

Mindfulness: Innate attention to and
awareness of present without any
judgment or reaction
• Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR)
participants with higher levels of trait
mindfulness showed a larger increase in
mindfulness, subjective well-being, empathy,
and hope, and larger declines in perceived
stress up to 1 year after treatment.
Shapiro et al. J Clin Psych. 2011;67(3):267-77.

Summary and Conclusions
• CHAMP continues to address key
performance issues and translate “state
of the science” research into practice
• CHAMP has come a long way – and will
continue to address difficult issues
• Human performance research needs to
be integrated for addressing individual
differences and identifying personalized
solutions
