Changes in Physical Performance Following Operational Military Training: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To best simulate armed combat-related emergencies, military personnel undergo operational training that attempts to recreate multiple physical stressors. Understanding the specific aspects of physical performance degradation after operational training helps to better inform future training practices, as these declines translate to real-world operations. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate the effects of operational trainings on physical performance metrics in military personnel.

Methods

Six electronic databases were searched for studies that investigated physical performance metrics in active-duty military personnel before and after multiple-day operational training. Sample sizes, means and standard deviations were extracted from included studies,
