Physiological Effects of a Military Training Program on Males and Females,

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a military training program on the aerobic power of young, active males and females. Twenty-nine males and twenty-six females (17-21 yrs old) were evaluated at the beginning and the end of the six week training which all incoming freshmen (plebes) undergo upon entering the U.S. Military Academy. The aerobic portion of the training consisted of running for 30 minutes, 5-6 days/week. Subjects ran at varied speeds depending upon their performance in an initial 1.5 mile run test.
