“…In the study by Thomas,17 it was observed that WC and AC reduced with weight loss, but soon afterwards increased significantly with weight gain. In a recent study by Lemes et al 18 after 21 weeks of MPT, military personnel from the military police of São Paulo reduced BM and BFP, corroborating the results of the research presented here.…”

“…The findings found mostly involve push up and pull up with military mean age ± 18 years. 18,20 Avila et al 20 in a study carried out at the Preparatory School of Army Cadets (PSAC), in the city of Campinas, SP, in 287 students with a mean age of 18.33 (± 1.26) years, after 13 weeks of MPT found an average of (8.5 ± 3) push up and (29.9 ± 7.8) pull up.…”

“…However, these data are considered to be above average when compared to the normative values of Pollock and Wilmore (1993). 22 Lemes 18 suggested that after 21 weeks of MPT there was a significant improvement in push up and pull up rates, increasing localized muscular resistance.…”

Introduction: Since 1965, the Brazilian Army (BA) has participated in peacekeeping missions of the United Nations (UN), sending large contingents to various parts of the world, such as Angola, Mozambique, East Timor and Haiti. To do so, the military must be in a minimum physical condition to face any obstacles in the course of action in the theater of operations. Objective: To verify the effects of Military Physical Training (MPT) on muscular strength of upper limbs, anthropometric variables and body composition of Brazilian military personnel of the 24th UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti. Methods: The sample consisted of 192 male soldiers with mean age of 23.2 ± 3 6 years. They observed a weekday residential regime, with a defined schedule of meals and activities and time off on weekends. The MPT was applied four times a week, 90 minutes long for 14 weeks and involved aerobic and resisted exercises. In the pre-and post-MPT period, body mass (MC), height, waist circumference (WC) and abdomen circumference (AC) were measured to calculate body mass index (BMI) and fat percentage (%F) through the protocol of Salem.. In addition, 12-minute run tests, push-ups, pull up and abdominal flexions were performed to calculate the Rogers Index (RI). Results: When comparing pre-and post-MPT, a significant difference was observed in all anthropometric variables and body composition (BM, BMI and %F) and in the RI for the upper limb muscle strength. Conclusion: The 14-week MPT indicates an improvement in the anthropometric and body composition variables, as well as an increase in upper limb muscular strength in Brazilian soldiers of the UN peacekeeping contingents in Haiti. This study concluded that RI could be an effective tool for assessing military muscular strength. Level of Evidence II; Therapeutic studies -Investigating the results of treatment.

“…The reduction in cardiorespiratory fitness showed a similar pattern. The extent of improvement observed aligns with findings from previous research [53,54], but we expected a more significant improvement. This outcome may be influenced by the testing method employed, which involves sprints with directional changes.…”

Military personnel need physical fitness to effectively carry out operational military activities within their specific field of operation. This research investigates the effects of a 34-week training program on Angolan cadets’ body composition, muscle strength, and cardiorespiratory fitness. Seventy-four volunteer recruits, aged 18 to 26 years, were monitored during their eight-month military service, following an exercise program protocol comprising 12 weeks of strength training followed by 24 weeks of endurance training. Anthropometric variables, including body mass, body mass index, and fat mass, were assessed, along with cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max), sprint performance, countermovement jump (CMJ), medicine ball throw, push-ups, and curl-ups. The physical training protocol encompassed running sessions, strength exercises, agility drills, and flexibility exercises. The initial assessment revealed gender differences in various parameters such as body mass, body fat percentage, VO2max, sprinting, countermovement jump (CMJ), medicine ball throw, and push-ups. Following the training program, changes were observed in all variables (effect size between 0.48 and 2.33, p < 0.01) for the participants. Significant interactions (sex × time) were found in body mass (F = 5.18, p = 0.03, ηp2 = 0.06), body fat percentage (F = 5.31, p < 0.01, ηp2 = 0.14), and medicine ball throw (F = 10.84, p < 0.01, ηp2 = 0.13). Specifically, males exhibited a greater reduction in body mass (females: 2.70%, males: 3.47%, p < 0.05) and a substantial improvement in ball throwing performance (females: 7.74%, males: 11.47%, p < 0.01), while females experienced a greater reduction in fat mass (females: 5.34%, males: 3.15%, p < 0.01). The physical training regimen effectively influenced body composition, particularly in enhancing strength performance among males. The integration of exercise programs with military service led to a notable reduction in fat tissue and an increase in lean tissue. Hence, the development of tailored training protocols is imperative to enhance the physical capacity and overall health of military recruits, considering sex-specific characteristics and physical attributes.

Ao meu orientador, Dr. Gil Guerra Júnior, um exemplo de mestre pela paciência, compreensão, ensinamentos, correções e pela oportunidade que me deu em dar continuidade num projeto de pesquisa iniciado no honroso LabCreD do CIPED da UNICAMP.Ao amigo Mauro Augusto Schreiter Melloni, que foi o meu maior incentivador e, esteve ao meu lado em cada parágrafo deste estudo me guiando pelo melhor caminho que eu deveria percorrer, em todo momento com sincera dedicação e total contribuição. Ao Prof. Anderson Marques de Moraes pelas importantes contribuições estatísticas.Aos colegas de pós-graduação pela colaboração na coleta dos dados. RESUMOIntrodução: A participação constante em programas de atividade física gera efeitos bem conhecidos, como melhora na densidade mineral óssea e melhora na composição corporal, com diminuição de incidência de sobrepeso e obesidade. Por outro lado, a prática intensa e frequente, como no caso da carreira militar, pode gerar lesão músculo esquelética, sendo esse o principal problema de saúde observado em militares e principal responsável por afastamento das atividades nessa população. Objetivo: Comparar a composição corporal de militares lesionados e não lesionados, antes e após sete meses de treinamento físico militar (TFM); comparar a composição corporal entre militares com lesão micro e macrotraumáicas e não lesionados antes e após sete meses de TFM; verificar se há influência da idade nas variáveis de composição corporal. Casuística e métodos: Estudo retrospectivo com avaliação da composição corporal entre o início e após sete meses, comparando essas mudanças entre o grupo de lesionados e nãolesionados durante o mesmo período. As variáveis avaliadas foram peso, estatura, índice de massa corporal pela antropometria, conteúdo mineral ósseo, tecido mole magro, massa gorda e percentual de gordura pela absorciometria por dupla emissão de raio X (DXA). Resultados: Não houve diferença significativa entre o grupo de lesionados e não lesionados com relação a variação de composição corporal e antropometria avaliadas antes e após o período de serviço militar. Também não houve diferença com relação a alteração dessas variáveis entre o início e o termino do período de acompanhamento entre os sujeitos com lesão micro e macrotraumáticas e os não lesionados. A idade não influenciou nas variáveis de composição corporal na primeira e segunda avaliações. Conclusão: Não se pode afirmar que a ocorrência de lesões musculoesqueléticas ou lesão micro e macrotraumáticas prejudiquem a evolução da composição corporal após sete meses de treinamento físico militar se comparados a não lesionados e a idade não influencia nas variáveis de composição corporal nos militares estudados.
