- This study analyzed the effects of two different physical training programs on the fitness outcomes of Army Officer Candidate School soldiers over 12 weeks. One group followed an expert-designed program (TAP-C), while the other followed a traditional training approach by OCS soldiers.
- The performance was measured across multiple physical assessments, including the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) events, grip strength, standing broad jump, and other mobility tests, using statistical analysis to compare results while controlling for initial differences and gender.
- Results indicated significant differences between the two groups: the traditional training group excelled in endurance-focused ACFT events, while the expert-led TAP-C
Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to investigate core exercise training and whole-body vibration (WBV) as a training method to improve performance and recovery from an 8-km military foot march in novice trainees.
Materials And Methods: A 3 × 5 repeated measures randomized control trial was used to evaluate the effects of core exercise training and WBV on performance and recovery from an 8-km foot march. Thirty-nine participants were randomized into three groups: core exercise (Ex), WBV with core exercise (WBVEx), and control.
