THE EFFECTS OF TWENTY-FOUR HOURS CONFINEMENT IN MOBILE ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIERS ON SELECTED COMBAT RELEVANT SKILL. STUDY V
Abstract
This investigation is the fifth in a series designed to determine changes in general combat relevant performance as a result of sustained confinement in Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs). The purpose was to determine changes in performance as a result of 24 hours confinement in mobile APCs. Forty-four enlisted men were tested before and after confinement on tests designed to measure stamina, eye-arm coordination, locomotor coordination, equilibrium, and hand-arm steadiness. The 24-hour confinement period resulted in a statistical significant loss in eye-arm coordination and hand-arm steadiness (marks-manship). Recommendations are included for future research. (Author)
