The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a Navy remedial exercise program (REP) in improving the physical fitness levels of its participants. Subjects were 27 Navy personnel assigned to a Northeast naval air station who had failed to pass either the body composition (circumference measures) or aerobic fitness (1.5-mile run/walk) portion of the semiannual physical readiness test. The REP consisted of three 1-hour supervised exercise sessions per week for 16 weeks, with primary emphasis on running and walking. Paired t tests revealed that the REP was effective in reducing body weight (-3.1%) and body fat (mean absolute loss of 2.7%) and in improving 1.5-mile run/walk time (-6.2%). No changes were seen in muscular endurance measures (2-minute push-ups, 2-minute curl-ups). Findings from this study indicate that improvements in PF can be attained through a 16-week Navy remedial exercise program.
本研究的目的是评估海军补救性锻炼计划（REP）在提高参与者身体素质水平方面的有效性。受试者为27名被分配到东北海军航空站的海军人员，他们在半年一次的体能准备测试中的身体成分（周长测量）或有氧适能（1.5英里跑/走）部分未能通过。REP包括每周三次、每次1小时的有监督锻炼课程，为期16周，主要重点是跑步和步行。配对t检验显示，REP在减轻体重（-3.1%）和体脂（平均绝对减少2.7%）以及改善1.5英里跑/走时间（-6.2%）方面有效。肌肉耐力测量（2分钟俯卧撑、2分钟仰卧起坐）未见变化。本研究结果表明，通过为期16周的海军补救性锻炼计划可以实现身体素质的改善。
