It is VERY important that you test and evaluate your gear… BEFORE you are on shift, before you are involved in an incident, before you are suffering because you chose not to acclimate to your gear.

Today we can see arrow symbols everywhere! They are very simple and universally used to show where things are. In company logos such as Subway, Volvo, Amazon, and FedEx, the arrow symbol depicts a specific meaning about the product or service. Arrow tattoos are also very popular. The symbol has a lot of different meanings. For example, the sign of two crossed arrows represents an alliance and it is preferred as a friendship tattoo. An arrow piercing through the heart symbolizes romantic desire. You can see an arrow icon on your phone too. An arrow icon at the top of your screen means that your phone is currently using location services. The arrow is also very meaningful in several cultures. Arrows symbolize both war and peace in Native American culture. For example, two arrows in different directions mean war, as well as a broken arrow symbolizes peace. Crossed arrows mean friendship, and a single arrow indicates the direction of travel or movement. But its placement can change its meaning. A single arrow pointing left means warding off evil, a single arrow pointing right means protection. The arrow symbol is very important in other cultures too. Arrows were used to indicate war in Roman mythology. And in Hindu mythology, Rudra, a Rigvedic deity, associated with wind or storm, is armed with arrows. Rudra is also called “the archer” which means a person who shoots with a bow and arrows.

Wearing a plate carrier is one of the simplest ways to make bodyweight exercises more difficult; things such as pushups, pullups, burpees, squats, lunges, etc.

By training in your gear and/or a weighted vest multiple times per month, this prepares 1) your brain and 2) your body’s tissue capacity to handle that external load. You can (and will) also develop better movement patterns with that added load and restrictive gear that will reduce the risk of injury in itself.

In this article, we will be reviewing the Top 4 Reasons Cops Should Train (physical fitness training) with a Weight Vest!

As you know, this is a necessary evil; officers need to be prepared for endless potential incidents, but this added weight can take a toll physically on the body and its structures/tissues, as well as impacting the officer’s mobility, speed, agility, coordination, heart rate, reaction time, V02 max, memory and cognitive function during operational tasks.

These things need to be pressure tested BEFORE you are on shift. You should already know your potential limitations and how all of that gear will affect your physical and mental abilities.

You may have outstanding mobility when you’re in gym shorts and a t-shirt - but what about when you put on your uniform? Restrictive clothing has a major impact on your mobility and your ability to get in and out of the common and uncommon positions. Even a basic squat can become altered and very ugly by adding some tight and non-stretchy pants to the mix.

If you want to make an arrow symbol on your computer, you can use the "Insert Symbol" option. Using this option, you can select a Unicode symbol. Or you can press Command+Control+Spacebar on Mac to bring up the Character Viewer. Then you can use the search field at the top of the window to find the Arrow symbol.

In addition to building strength, it is a great tool to build your aerobic base, which is also known as endurance or stamina. Weight vests are a great option for rucking, running, step ups/stair climbs, or even increasing the challenge of a simple walk. Any of you that wear one on shift know that adding a weighted vest just makes walking more difficult! It will elevate your heart rate and have you breathing heavier than if it weren’t on.

Of course, the goal is always to perform better and to constantly aiming to be Above the Standard™. To do that, we have to “train how we fight.”

If you are looking for affordable home gym equipment, you should definitely consider purchasing a weight vest, especially if you are not able/prefer not to use your duty gear for fitness training.

Remember, a training vest does not have to be fancy or flashy. It needs to be functional and it needs to add load to your upper body. Period.

The good news is that we can optimize our body and brain to better handle this excess weight. Body composition and body fat percentage both play a huge role in load carriage ability. Having adequate strength, aerobic fitness and lean mass with a lower body fat content will improve your ability to carry external loads for long periods of time. This is known as Load Carriage Optimization.

Arrow is a universal graphical symbol used for mainly indicating direction. The first usage of this typographical symbol occurred in the 18th century. This symbol is largely used in mathematical notation, road surface markings, as well as on signage, advertising billboards, weather maps, and wayfinding. Upwards pointing arrows show an increase in a numerical value, and downwards pointing arrows show a decrease. The usage of the arrow symbol representing logical implication in math originates in 1922 and introduced by David Hilbert. The usage of the double-headed arrow occurred in 1933 and introduced by Albrecht Becker.

On a day to day basis, police officers around the world are lugging around 20-50lbs of gear on their body via their duty belt and/or outer carriers.

As the Law of Specificity states, the only way to get better at a specific skill is to train and practice that particular skill you are looking to get better at. If you want to get better at performing under heavy load or in full kit, you must replicate that in your physical training.

On top of that, we would recommend training in full kit 1-2x per month to familiarize yourself with your gear. This doesn’t have to be a full blown training session, but you should train some basic bodyweight movements such as pushups, pullups, squats, technical stand ups, etc.

Regular training in the gym such as squats, deadlifts, presses, trunk strength grinds, aerobic and anaerobic conditioning, etc. will all help with load carriage optimization, but we do highly recommend training with a weight vest 2-4x per month.

The most common load carriage injuries are seen in the lower extremities (knees, ankles, feet, hips) and the low back. In addition to that list, we see the occasional shoulder/upper back injury, as well as some compressed nerve issues; none of which are fun to deal with.

There is a plethora of solid research showing that your duty gear hinders your physical capabilities. One particular study concluded that as the weight you’re carrying on your duty belt increases, the more detrimental it is to your ability to accelerate, how fast you are able to go, and your mobility, which all could be harmful in UOF or other critical situations.

One study that is available in the International Journal of Exercise Science was focused on finding the why behind Law Enforcement Officers experiencing low back pain. They found that there were differences in gait and trunk posture due to gear load carried on a gear belt and a gear vest. These altered biomechanics and stress on the lower body, the feet in particular, by just simply walking with the external load can increase the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.
