Book excerpt: Physical fitness is an important element of military readiness and is the responsibility of every airman. U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and U.S. Air Force (USAF) policies reflect this view. DoD's position is firmly grounded and supported by decades of research that has established clear linkages between physical fitness and a wide variety of health outcomes, such as hypertension and heart disease. This report focuses on measures used to monitor the general fitness of airmen, which guide personnel actions and reports on the health of the force. To provide a more comprehensive evaluation of USAF fitness and health, the authors compare results from the 2018 DoD Health Related Behaviors Survey with data collected as part of regular USAF fitness assessments from fiscal year (FY) 2005 through FY 2018. The authors present evidence to suggest that body mass index (BMI), although commonly used as a sole indicator of overweight or obesity status in personnel and media reports, can be misleading when used alone. Specifically, BMI may misclassify service members as overweight or obese when they are not; BMI may be less accurate than other easily obtained measures, such as abdominal circumference (AC) or waist-to-height ratio (WHtR); other fitness metrics suggest that USAF fitness has improved over time; and other USAF measures that assess cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness should also be used in conjunction with body composition measures to provide a more accurate assessment of health risk across subgroups (e.g., gender, race).

Download or read book A Review of the Air Force Fitness Assessment written by Sean Robson and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military readiness requires service members to be mentally and physically fit to perform duties in various environments. To determine whether service members have the requisite physical fitness to serve, the U.S. Air Force (AF) and its sister services have established various medical and physical standards. These standards are first applied as part of an initial screening for military entrance. After joining, service members must continue to maintain fitness in accordance with their respective service policies. This report presents an overview of research relevant to fitness assessment (FA) components to ensure airmen readiness, support the National Defense Strategy, and promote a culture of health and well-being across the AF. The authors conducted an evaluation of the AF-FA using scientific evidence drawn from published literature on relevant FA components, with an emphasis on the potential for current assessments to meet overall health and deployment requirements. Evidence from the literature was augmented with workshops and discussions with a variety of subject-matter experts, including those familiar with deployment readiness training. The authors also identify potential gaps and offer recommendations for improvement. The work in this report should be of interest to military policymakers and researchers involved in setting and evaluating military physical fitness standards.

Book excerpt: If you have never failed your PT Test, then this little book is not for you. Sorry, save your money and go buy a Monster instead.If have recently failed, concerned about an upcoming assessment, want to get leadership off your back, tired of bad advice that doesn't work from people who have never failed, never want your PT Test to interfere with your career ever again, just plain frustrated, or have troops that have failed, keep reading!I have gone from failing and being in "the program" to ending my career with a 97.5. My goal is to produce the same results for all the Airmen out there, who are struggling with the PT Test, themselves.This is not going to turn you into a machine overnight. This not my version of P90X. This is not Weight Watchers. I am not going to sell you a magic drink powder. I am not going to ask you to join a network marketing or multi level marketing scheme. What I am going to give you is information and guidance.The Air Force Physical Fitness Assessment is broken down to three parts. Strength, Aerobic Endurance, and Waist Measurement. In this book I will give you unconventional methods to address each of these.I will help you Pass Your PT Test by covering the following:*Strength (push-ups and sit-ups)- I can teach you how to improve these numbers drastically in 30 days by teaching you how to "grease the groove."*Aerobic Endurance (1.5 mile run)- This one isn't so easy. We will address ankle and foot mobility, running efficiency and training to specifically target you heart and lungs.*Body Composition (waist measurement)- This can be easy but in most cases we really need to spend some time on this. We will cover food addiction, inflammatory foods and stress management.Although I am retired, I still want to serve. The best way I see that's possible is to apply my years of research and experience to helping Airman never let the PT Test get in the way of a 5 EPR, promotion, or assignment ever again.

Download or read book Assessing Fitness for Military Enlistment written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-03-27 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) faces short-term and long-term challenges in selecting and recruiting an enlisted force to meet personnel requirements associated with diverse and changing missions. The DoD has established standards for aptitudes/abilities, medical conditions, and physical fitness to be used in selecting recruits who are most likely to succeed in their jobs and complete the first term of service (generally 36 months). In 1999, the Committee on the Youth Population and Military Recruitment was established by the National Research Council (NRC) in response to a request from the DoD. One focus of the committee's work was to examine trends in the youth population relative to the needs of the military and the standards used to screen applicants to meet these needs. When the committee began its work in 1999, the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force had recently experienced recruiting shortfalls. By the early 2000s, all the Services were meeting their goals; however, in the first half of calendar year 2005, both the Army and the Marine Corps experienced recruiting difficulties and, in some months, shortfalls. When recruiting goals are not being met, scientific guidance is needed to inform policy decisions regarding the advisability of lowering standards and the impact of any change on training time and cost, job performance, attrition, and the health of the force. Assessing Fitness for Military Enlistment examines the current physical, medical, and mental health standards for military enlistment in light of (1) trends in the physical condition of the youth population; (2) medical advances for treating certain conditions, as well as knowledge of the typical course of chronic conditions as young people reach adulthood; (3) the role of basic training in physical conditioning; (4) the physical demands and working conditions of various jobs in today's military services; and (5) the measures that are used by the Services to characterize an individual's physical condition. The focus is on the enlistment of 18- to 24-year-olds and their first term of service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of fitness and body composition standards in the U.S. Armed Forces has always been to select individuals best suited to the physical demands of military service, based on the assumption that proper body weight and composition supports good health, physical fitness, and appropriate military appearance. The current epidemic of overweight and obesity in the United States affects the military services. The pool of available recruits is reduced because of failure to meet body composition standards for entry into the services and a high percentage of individuals exceeding military weight-for-height standards at the time of entry into the service leave the military before completing their term of enlistment. To aid in developing strategies for prevention and remediation of overweight in military personnel, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command requested the Committee on Military Nutrition Research to review the scientific evidence for: factors that influence body weight, optimal components of a weight loss and weight maintenance program, and the role of gender, age, and ethnicity in weight management.
