Background: The Military Fitness Training Leader (MFTL) is considered a parameter that affects the efficiency of the Hellenic Army Physical Readiness Training (APRT).
Purpose: The competencies of 5 ...different types of Greek MFTLs were assessed and compared according to the opinions of the Regular Army Personnel.
Material and Methods: ANOVA corrected by post hoc comparisons were used to compare the selected opinions coming from 2864 survey questionnaires. The statistical significance was indicated up to 0.05 to compare the differences for all 5 types MFTLs graded by 3 different groups: Senior Officers, Junior Officers, and Non- Commissioned Officers/Permanent Enlisted Soldiers.
Results: The Senior Officers scored the "Officer" as the best MFTL and the "Physical Education Graduate" as the highest contributors to the APRT's effectiveness. Junior Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers/Permanent Enlisted Soldiers scored the "Physical Education Graduate" as being more useful as MFTL, although being seldom applied to APRT programs. The Officers' military experience and leadership specialisation combined with the Physical Education Graduate's professionalisation has been revealed as the main characteristics of an effective profile for a MFTL.
Conclusion: The results, reinforced by similar research in the field, indicate that the Hellenic army should focus on creating professional standards to achieve a more efficient MFTL training program.

Objective: This study evaluated the influence of a multiple injury control intervention on injury and physical fitness outcomes among soldiers attending United States Army Ordnance School Advanced ...Individual Training. Methods: The study design was quasiexperimental involving a historical control group (n = 2559) that was compared to a multiple intervention group (n = 1283). Interventions in the multiple intervention group included modified physical training, injury education, and a unit based injury surveillance system (UBISS). The management responsible for training independently formed an Injury Control Advisory Committee that examined surveillance reports from the UBISS and recommended changes to training. On arrival at school, individual soldiers completed a demographics and lifestyle questionnaire and took an army physical fitness test (APFT: push-ups, sit-ups, and two mile run). Injuries among soldiers were tracked by a clinic based injury surveillance system that was separate from the UBISS. Soldiers completed a final APFT eight weeks after arrival at school. Results: Cox regression (survival analysis) was used to examine differences in time to the first injury while controlling for group differences in demographics, lifestyle characteristics, and physical fitness. The adjusted relative risk of a time loss injury was 1.5 (95% confidence interval 1.2 to 1.8) times higher in the historical control men and 1.8 (95% confidence interval 1.1 to 2.8) times higher in the historical control women compared with the multiple intervention men and women, respectively. After correcting for the lower initial fitness of the multiple intervention group, there were no significant differences between the multiple intervention and historical control groups in terms of improvements in push-ups, sit-ups, or two mile run performance. Conclusions: This multiple intervention program contributed to a reduction in injuries while improvements in physical fitness were similar to a traditional physical training program previously used at the school.
Parameters of physical readiness of cadets of different somatotypes on grade levels are defined. Researched - 112 cadets. The factorial frame of fluctuation of parameters is construed. Diagnosing ...somatotypes is conducted. The considerable variances between such frame at cadets of different somatotypes on a determined grade level are revealed. Necessity of the account of the received datas for a heating-up period of the contents of occupations is noted by physical preparation. The amount of occupations of a determined explicating directedness is defined.
Experience of integrated assessment of cadets and students physical readiness state has been generalised and analysed. Dynamics of physical readiness state of 18 cadets has been researched. The ...control measurings were conducted at the beginning and at the end of every year of teaching on the program of the followings tests: undercutting on a cross-beam; at run of 100м; at run of 3000м; overcoming of bar of obstacles. Possibility and visualization of employing method of complex control of cadets physical readiness level and dynamics over the whole period of their study in military institutes.
Generalized and analysed experience of computer-integrated estimation of the state of physical preparedness of students and students (of a military school). The dynamics of physical preparedness was ...probed 18 students. A level and dynamics of physical preparedness of students was probed from data of control tests during 5 years of employments. Selected and described contingent of students on the level of physical preparedness. Possibility and evidentness of the use of method of complex control of level and dynamics of physical preparedness of students is rotined during all period teaching in a military institute.
The ways of perfection of physical and psychological preparedness of servicemen are considered. For research was taken a group of students consists of 13 persons. It is rotined that result of ...overcoming difficult control-verification exercises «Obstacle course» to a great extent depends on the level of formed skills in overcoming of its separate elements. Most variant are elements of overcoming of fence and gap of wall. Marked on the necessity of development of single pedagogical requirements to the sequence of study of elements of bar of obstacles. It is recommended for the most difficult obstacles to foresee strengthening of individual approach in teaching.
In clause features of influence of employment by step-aerobics and fitball-aerobics on a level of physical readiness of girls of 18-20 years are analyzed. The results received during the lead ...experimental research, have allowed ascertaining, that under influence of employment results have improved at girls of both groups. However, authentic improvement of parameters is observed at girls of group №1 in the tests describing development of speed-power qualities and force, and at girls of group №2 parameters of development of flexibility have authentically improved. The results fixed in other tests of girls of both groups, testify to the tendency to improvement of these parameters.
Introduction. One of the basic human activities is learning and education. Indeed the role of education is to facilitate learning but many internal or external factors affect the learning process ...such as learners’ physical, affective and mental readiness. If we don’t pay attention to these factors, they will lead to a superficial learning and finally the trained and graduated students won't be efficient enough. If we determine the factors affecting students' readiness for learning, we will be able to adopt a proper strategy for teaching. Therefore this research was planned to determine the level of learners’ readiness for learning according to B.S. students and also to determine its correlation with some of their demographic characteristics. Methods. This research was a cross-sectional survey. The research samples consisted of 298 B.S. students from four schools including: Health, Nursing and Midwifery, Management & Informatics and Rehabilitation, selected based on simple stratified sampling. The tool for collecting data was a questionnaire whose validity and reliability were determined by content validity and test re-test respectively. Descriptive analytic statistics was used for data analysis. Results. The mean score of physical, affective and mental readiness for learning in four schools were calculated. Although a significant difference was observed for some factors related to learners' readiness between the schools, but ANOVA didn’t show a significant difference between the mean score of physical readiness, affective readiness and mental readiness in four schools. Also, other tests including Mann-Whitney, students t test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient showed a significant relationship between participants’ characteristics and their readiness for learning. Conclusion. Students' physical readiness is more affected by life conditions while affective and mental readiness has to be under special consideration by people in charge of medical education. Holding talking sessions with students, supervising educational programs and improving faculty members' performance can facilitate students' learning.
