the muscles. When this system is engaged, the officer is able to perform at 100%
of his/her maximum output. The system burns out after 10-15 seconds, at that
time the officer can expect to have a 45% decrease in maximum output

endurance. Once this system is engaged, the officer's strength level will reduce to
