Following the increase in the employment of women in conflicts around the world, the federal government of Brazil enacted a law which determines the participation of women in the military. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of six months of physical training (PT) on the physical fitness of young Brazilian Army cadets to carry out the physical assessments provided in military training. Sixty-eight members of the (19.4 ± 1.0 years) military from the Brazilian Army (BA), with BMI of (23.61 ± 2.17/21.81 ± 2.26) respectively and divided in two groups (men/women) participated in the study. PT was conducted by Manual EB20-MC10.350. Anthropometric measurements and assessment of body composition by dual X-ray absorptiometry were performed. The Student’s t test, percentage evolution equation, and Levene test were used. Results showeda significant increase in anthropometric variables and cardiorespiratory fitness in both groups. Bone health variables and visceral fat presented a significant increase in the malegroup. In terms of muscle fitness (handgrip and isometric strength of the legs and push-up and pull-up), there was no significant variation between thegroups. Percentage evolution was greater in female group. The conclusion shows PT was able to cause beneficial changes, promoting positive improvement in bone health, especially in women. Also, PT was shown to enhance cardiorespiratory capacity, and muscle fitness of the upper limbs in all participants.

Research  back  ground  and  hypothesis.  There  is  a  basic  military  training  course  (BMT)  carried  out  in  the Lithuanian Armed Forces. The aim of this course is to train soldiers for military service that they were able to perform individual tasks and acquire basic military preparation. There is a lack of research dealing with the effect of physical training programmes in military training courses on the changes in soldiers’ physical fitness. We hypothesize that in the course of military training physical fitness of would-be soldiers improves.Research aim was to analyse the structure and content of the BMT programme and the effect of its implementation on the changes in physical fitness for would-be soldiers.Research methods: literature review, analysis of military physical training programmes, physical fitness testing.Research results. During the first testing only 26.8% of would-be soldiers achieved the standards of physical fitness complex test, and during the second testing the standards of the complex test of physical fitness were achieved by 89.5% of service people. In the period of the course VO 2 max and Roufier index improved (p  < 0.001). Indices of physical fitness and functional capacity improved more in the first half of the course. At the end of the course the results of adapted military physical fitness of service people were worse compared to the results of their general physical fitness.Discussion and conclusions. The program of general physical training was effective, but more attention should be paid to the improvement of adapted military physical fitness programme aiming at better results. During the basic military training course physical fitness and functional capacity of candidates improved and at the end of the course it reached the normative level of physical fitness.Keywords: physical fitness, adapted military physical fitness, basic military course, testing.

The Impact

Introdução: A aptidão física é um dos elementos em destaque no perfil do militar brasileiro. Todavia, estudos apontam a existência de alta prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade nesta população.Objetivo: Verificar o impacto do Treinamento Físico Militar (TFM) no perfil antropométrico e nos índices de desempenho físico de militares.Métodos: Estudo longitudinal, do qual participaram 27 alunos do sexo masculino do Período Básico do Curso de Formação de Sargentos do Exército Brasileiro (CFS). Foram realizadas avaliações antropométricas: massa corporal, estatura, dobras cutâneas (peitoral, abdominal e coxa média) e de desempenho físico: flexão de braço no solo e na barra fixa, corrida de 12 minutos e abdominal supra, exercícios que fazem parte dos Testes de Aptidão Física (TAF) realizados três vezes ao ano nas diversas organizações militares do Exército. As avaliações foram aplicadas em duas fases: uma na terceira e outra na vigésima primeira semana de instrução. A normalidade dos dados foi examinada pelo teste de Shapiro-Wilk. Para comparar os dados pré e pós período de treinamento, utilizou-se os testes pareados t de Student e de Wilcoxon.Resultados: As características antropométricas, assim como o teste de abdominal supra, não apresentaram alterações, enquanto os testes físicos apresentaram melhora estaticamente significativa nos testes de flexão de braço no solo e na barra fixa e na corrida (teste de 12 minutos de Cooper).Conclusão: O TFM mostrou-se eficiente para preparar fisicamente o militar para o combate, entretanto, políticas de incentivo a comportamentos alimentares mais saudáveis poderiam ser adotados e enfatizados no âmbito das organizações militares.Effects of Military Physical Training on anthropometric characteristics and physical performance in military personnelIntroduction: Physical fitness is one of the fundamental elements for Brazilian military personnel. However, studies indicate the existence of a high prevalence of overweight and obesity in this population.Objective: To verify the impact of Military Physical Training (MPT) on the anthropometric profile and military physical performance indices.Methods: A longitudinal study was carried out. 27 male students from the Basic Period of the Training Course for Sergeants (TCS) of the Brazilian Army participated. Anthropometric evaluations were performed: body mass, height, skin folds (pectoral, abdominal and mid-thigh) and physical performance: flexion of the arm in the ground and fixed bar, 12-minute run and abdominal supra, exercises that are part of the Physical Fitness (PF) held three times a year in the various military organizations of the Army. The evaluations were applied in two phases: one in the third and the other in the twenty-first week of education. The normality of the data was examined by the Shapiro-Wilk test. To compare pre-and post-training period data, Student’s t and Wilcoxon tests for paired samples were used.Results: The anthropometric characteristics, as well as the abdominal test above, did not present alterations, whereas the physical tests presented significant statistical improvement in the tests of arm flexion in the ground and in the fixed bar and in the race (Cooper's 12-minute test).Conclusion: MPT proved to be efficient for physical preparation for combat. Nonetheless, military organizations should adopt policies to emphasize and encourage healthier eating behaviors.

Future Work

Показано, что высокий уровень физической подготовленности студентов обеспечит их способность к качественному выполнению будущей трудовой деятельности. Для оценки уровня физической подготовленности студентов в рамках их физического воспитания в вузе возможно использовать нормативы комплекса «Готов к труду и обороне» (ГТО) как универсального оценочного механизма, позволяющего выделять наиболее физически развитых представителей данного поколения. С этой целью определено соответствие уровня физической подготовленности современных студентов не физкультурных специальностей с нормами комплекса ГТО. Выявлены пути совершенствования физической подготовки студентов в условиях современного вуза. Материалом для исследования послужили теоретические и эмпирические данные, полученные на основе использования методов теоретического анализа специальной литературы и передового педагогического опыта, педагогического эксперимента, контрольных испытаний, математико-статистических методов обработки и анализа данных. Результаты исследования подтверждают, что в настоящее время уровень физической подготовленности студентов не всегда соответствует требованиям норм ГТО. Данный факт был доказан экспериментально на базе Марийского государственного университета. Требуется дополнительная работа по физической подготовке студентов. С этой целью сформулированы методические рекомендации по совершенствованию физической подготовки студентов в соответствии с нормами ГТО. Теоретически обоснована и эмпирически доказана целесообразность использования нормативов ГТО в качестве системы оценивания физической подготовленности студентов. Сформулированы методические рекомендации по повышению уровня физической подготовленности студентов в соответствии с нормативами комплекса ГТО. The importance of physical culture and sports in human life, associated with maintaining the health of the nation as a whole and ensuring individual health and working capacity of the individual in particular, is realized in the form of physical education carried out in educational institutions, including universities. A high level of physical fitness of students will ensure their ability to perform high-quality future work activities. In order to assess the level of physical fitness of students within the framework of their physical education at the university, it is possible to use the standards of the GTO complex as a universal evaluation mechanism that allows identifying the most physically developed representatives of this generation. The purpose is to determine the compliance of the level of physical fitness of modern students of non-physical education specialties with the norms of the GTO complex and to identify on this basis ways to improve the physical training of students in the conditions of a modern university. The materials for the study were theoretical and empirical data obtained on the basis of the use of methods of theoretical analysis of special literature and advanced pedagogical experience, pedagogical experiment, control tests, mathematical and statistical methods of data processing and analysis. When studying the advanced pedagogical experience accumulated in our country since the introduction of the revived GTO standards in 2014, reflected in relevant publications, as well as scientific and methodological literature in the field of physical education, it was shown that at present the level of physical fitness of students does not always meet the requirements of GTO standards. This fact was proved experimentally, by conducting control tests on the basis of the Mari State University. This indicated that additional work is required on the physical training of students, and those indicators of physical fitness of students that require the greatest development were also identified. Methodological recommendations were formulated to improve the physical training of students in accordance with the standards of the GTO. The expediency of using the GTO standards as a system for assessing students’ physical fitness was theoretically justified and empirically proved.

IntroductionMilitary training programmes are often similar for male and female recruits despite sex differences in physical performance that may influence training adaptations during military service. The present study aimed to compare changes in physical fitness and anthropometrics between Finnish female and male recruits during military service.MethodsA total of 234 690 male and 3549 female recruits participated in fitness tests at the beginning and end of military service between 2005 and 2015. Anthropometric measurements were body mass, height, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). Fitness tests consisted 12 min running, standing long jump, and sit-ups and push-ups.ResultsNo changes were observed in anthropometrics, while both sexes improved most of the fitness test results. After adjustment for service time, branch, age, initial fitness test results, BMI and WC, improvement in running test performance was 158 m (95% CI 142 to 173, p≤0.001) greater in male than female recruits. Similarly, improvements were larger in male recruits for push-ups (5 reps/min, 95% CI 5 to 6, p≤0.001), sit-ups (2 reps/min, 95% CI 2 to 3, p≤0.001) and standing long jump (12 cm, 95% CI 11 to 13, p≤0.001) when compared with women.ConclusionsThe study revealed sex differences in adaptations to the standardised military training. Both male and female recruits improved their physical fitness, but smaller gains were observed in women using the same training programme. The mechanisms explaining sex differences in adaptations to military training, and whether tailored training programmes are needed specifically for female recruits to reduce sex differences during military service, warrants further studies.
