This investigation recruited 24 participants from both the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and civilian populations to complete 4 separate trials at "best effort" of each of the 4 components in the CAF Physical Employment Standard named the FORCE Evaluation: Fitness for Operational Requirements of CAF Employment. Analyses were performed to examine the level of variability and reliability within each component. The results demonstrate that candidates should be provided with at least 1 retest if they have recently completed at least 2 previous best effort attempts as per the protocol. In addition, the minimal detectable difference is given for each of the 4 components in seconds which identifies the threshold for subsequent action, either retest or remedial training, for those unable to meet the minimum standard. These results will educate the delivery of this employment standard, function as a method of accommodation, in addition to providing direction for physical training programs.
本研究招募了 24 名来自加拿大武装部队（CAF）和民间人员的参与者，以“尽力”完成 CAF 体能工作标准中名为“FORCE 评估：CAF 工作的作战要求适应性”的 4 个组成部分的 4 项独立测试。对每个组成部分进行了分析，以检查其内部的变异性和可靠性。结果表明，如果候选人按照协议最近至少完成了 2 次先前的尽力尝试，则应至少为他们提供 1 次重测。此外，还给出了每个组成部分的秒数最小可检测差异，这确定了后续行动（重测或补救性训练）的阈值，对于那些无法达到最低标准的人来说，这些阈值可作为后续行动的阈值。这些结果将为这一就业标准的实施提供指导，除了为体能训练计划提供方向外，还可以作为一种适应方法。
