To fulfil the various tasks and roles efficiently in the Royal Air Force good health is implicit but 'fitness' is not so specifically defined. Fitness relates to a task; it does not describe a state of health. Using a system of submaximal measurement of oxygen uptake (VO2), skinfold thickness, weight and health parameters involving an actuarial scaled questionnaire and blood pressure measurement, a fitness profile was developed evaluating health and fitness. The physiologic characteristics of eighty-two aircrew, 90% fast-jet, fixed-wing and 10% rotary wing employed in search and rescue duties, were investigated in evaluating and developing the fitness profile. The results suggest that individual strengths and weaknesses can be identified simply and economically in a framework of physically educating the individual and also where necessary motivating him to make minor lifestyle modifications, the objective being to ensure his health compatible with his task fitness.
要在皇家空军中高效履行各种任务和职责，良好的健康状况是不言而喻的，但“体能”并没有如此明确的定义。体能与一项任务相关；它并非描述一种健康状态。通过使用一种亚极量摄氧量（VO2）、皮褶厚度、体重以及涉及精算量表问卷和血压测量的健康参数测量系统，制定了一份评估健康和体能的体能概况。在评估和制定体能概况时，对82名机组人员的生理特征进行了调查，其中90%为执行搜救任务的快速喷气式、固定翼飞机机组人员，10%为旋翼飞机机组人员。结果表明，在对个人进行体育教育的框架内，并且在必要时激励他对生活方式进行微小改变，就可以简单且经济地识别个人的优势和劣势，目的是确保其健康状况与其任务体能相匹配。
