International journal of sports medicine , Apr 2, The effect of time of day on Special Judo Fitness Test in active judokas: Evaluation in terms of chronotype. Regular strength training and baseline fitness in overweight infantry members of Slovenian Armed Forces. IntroductionThe prevalence of overweight subjects in military cohorts increases despite the oblig Studies that have examined the association of BMI with baseline fitness in the military are showing conflicting evidence.
The primary aim of the study is to examine BMI effects on baseline fitness that was measured by APFT and additional functional performance tests FT vertical countermovement jump with and without load, loaded prone plank, single-leg hamstring bridge test and pull-ups.
Our secondary goal is to explore if regular strength training modifies the BMI effect on baseline fitness. Two independent categorical variables BMI rank and strength training were used to evaluate their influence on dependent variables of physical performance acquired from APFT and FT. It was shown that strength training had a medium ES on push-up and pull-up performance, as well as on the overall APFT score and loaded plank.
ConclusionsThe importance of regular strength training and normal BMI for better overall baseline fitness in infantry members was highlighted. Most importantly, it was shown that performance is not affected in overweight soldiers who are performing regular strength training in addition to their daily physical training.
