Can Exercise Simulate a Gunfight?
‘Being used to and prepared to shoot with your heart beating rapidly, sweaty hands, and gasping for air can be beneficial. It can show you what it’s like. While it can be beneficial to train with some exercise thrown in, the best thing you can do is be physically fit. The effects of physical stress can be lessened if you exercise regularly.’
‘Another great way to induce stress is to attend force-on-force training. Having the potential of losing a simulated gunfight and getting hit by simmunitions can induce stress. This is especially true if you train in shoot and no-shoot situations where decision-making is required.’
