Performance Triad
Army Medicine's Performance Triad is a focus area of the Army Medicine 2020 Campaign Plan, imperative to Improve Stamina. Nested under the Army’s Ready and Resilient Campaign, the Performance Triad is Army Medicine’s key initiative to improve Soldier, Civilian, and Family health and stamina.
The Performance Triad focuses on Sleep, Activity, and Nutrition Management (SAN). The emphasis is on the time referred to as the Lifespace, the average of 525,500 minutes of the year when we are not under medical care. We can all positively impact our health by investing in this triad of key factors. Getting back to the basics of Sleep, Activity, and Nutrition is key for all of us in optimizing personal health, performance, and resilience.
