  • The effects of individual designed programs of physical training based on US army standards on motor abilities of Slovene armed forces personnel
    Karpljuk, Damir ...
    Adequate physical readiness is a significant aspect of universal armed foreces readiness and an integral part of military support. The aim of this research was to ascertain the effect of a training ... program, based on individually adapted intensity levels, on motor abilities of the Slovene armed foreces (SV) personnel. The sample of subjects included 34 members of SV (16 in the experimental group-ES, and 18 in the control group-KS), aged between 35 and 40. Results have been processed by the SPSS 8.0 for Windows program. Data processing was carried out in several phases. First, the basic statistical characteristics and the distrbution of individual variables have been determined, the measures of central tendency and the measures of dispersion have bben calculated and a method for the analysis of variance with 5 % risk has been used. The results have shown that a characteristics enhancement of certain motor abilities of the sample studied can be improved by means of training process economisation and individually adapted training intensity leveles. Statistically significant differences between the experimental and control group were found in measurements of body fat (KG), push-ups (SK), curl-ups (DT), a 3200 meter run (T3200M) and the morning heart beat frequency (FSUs). Although the research sample was small, these studies, at least in theory support the need for future research in these areas, as our evidence strongly suggests the effectiveness of individually designed training protocols on the physical rediness of Slovenian armed personnel.
