TSAC Program Origination
❖2005; aimed at translating cutting-edge research,
applying population-specific training methods and
field experience, and implementing evidence-based
approaches to reduce injury risk, improve or maintain
overall health, and increase specific areas of fitness
pertinent to the tactical athlete.
TSAC Facilitator
❖specialized trainer who uses an evidence-based
approach in conjunction with personal field
experience to optimize occupational preparedness
and reduce the risk of injury in tactical populations.

TSAC-F Certification
❖Developed by NSCA to provide a standardized
credential ensuring a high level of professional
competence among individuals to apply scientific
principles to training athletes.
Tactical Athlete
❖an individual who utilizes their minds and bodies to
serve and protect individuals, communities, states,
countries, and themselves; may be employees or
volunteers for community, state, or national
organizations whose missions are to protect against
various threats; may be the first to respond to and
assist at local or international emergencies; must be
ready to encounter any threats (e.g., physical
environmental, or psychological); key requirement is
physical fitness because, if not fit enough, their ability
to protect and serve others is diminished.

Evaluation
❖TSAC-F evaluates the physical demands of the
operational tasks and then designs training programs
to address weaknesses in fitness attributes pertaining
to specific occupational needs.
Occupational Specificity
❖following testing, training prescriptions are based on
an occupation-specific training paradigm
(occupational specificity); TSAC-F considers the
physical demands of the operational/occupational
activities and designs the program accordingly using
principles and concepts from periodization; program
design should be unique based on the needs of the
occupation and the abilities and weaknesses of the
tactical athlete.

Job Analysis
❖key requirement of the TSAC-F is to analyze the
occupational tasks required of a tactical athlete
within their domain.
Movement Analysis
❖TSAC-F must be able to assess the major physical
movements common to occupational tasks, evaluate
the types of equipment and loads carried, and apply
this knowledge to optimize functional capacity,
movement patterns, and gait mechanics.
Energy Systems
❖TSAC-F must be able to implement programs to
improve cardiorespiratory fitness and minimize the
risk of musculoskeletal injuries and illness in tactical
athletes; additionally, understanding which energy
