Exhaustive shuttle run distance was measured pre- and immediately posttransit. Transit heart rate and perceived exertion (RPE) were measured and deck and seat pan acceleration recorded; the latter were reported as impacts count and peak magnitude.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: Distance run was reduced for the FS teams following both transits (calm, \u2212250 m, \u221220%, p &lt; .07; rough, \u2212398 m, \u221226%, p &lt; .05), whereas it was unchanged for the SS teams. All transit heart rates and RPE indicated light exertion levels. Seat pan impacts were similarly reduced during the calm transit (FS, \u221242%; SS, \u221230%); however, during the rough transit, the SS was more than twice as effective (FS, \u221232%; SS, \u221271%). Peak impact magnitudes were reduced by the SS (calm, \u221238%; rough, \u221257%) and amplified by the FS (calm, +3%; rough, +28%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion: Suspension seats effectively maintained posttransit running performance by reducing magnitude of the vertical shocks imposed on the passengers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Application: High-speed RIB transits followed immediately by high-intensity activity are intrinsic to contemporary maritime operations; suspension seats can maintain post-transit physical performance, thereby enhancing safety and operational effectiveness.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0018720811436201","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,1]],"date-time":"2012-03-01T01:12:48Z","timestamp":1330564368000},"page":"264-276","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Effectiveness of Suspension Seats in Maintaining Performance Following Military High-Speed Boat Transits"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Stephen D.","family":"Myers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Chichester, Chichester, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Trevor D.","family":"Dobbins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"STResearch, Chichester, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stuart","family":"King","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"QinetiQ, Farnborough, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Hall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Chichester, Chichester, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sharon R.","family":"Holmes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"U.K. Ministry of Defence, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tom","family":"Gunston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"V.
