Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) and percent body fat (%BF) were assessed in 87 males and 57 females before and after 7 weeks of Army basic training. VO2 max was determined using a running treadmill protocol and %BF was measured by skinfold technique. VO2 max increased 3.7% (50.7 vs. 52.3 ml/kg.min) and 10.5% (36.9 vs. 39.3 ml/kg.min) for males and females, respectively, with training. %BF decreased 11% in males and 7.1% in females while body weight increased in both. Analysis of variance revealed that, while these changes were significant, there was no quantitative difference in the response of the sexes undergoing the same training program. The data suggest that basic training presents an effective physical challenge for those males and females who have a VO2 max below the ranges of 49-52 ml/kg.min and 38-41 ml/kg.min, respectively, upon entry. In addition, it effectively reduces BF content of those who initially possess high percentages and increases the lean body mass particularly in women.
对87名男性和57名女性在陆军基础训练7周前后进行了最大摄氧量（VO2 max）和体脂百分比（%BF）评估。VO2 max采用跑步机跑步方案测定，%BF通过皮褶厚度技术测量。经过训练，男性VO2 max增加了3.7%（从50.7增至52.3毫升/千克·分钟），女性增加了10.5%（从36.9增至39.3毫升/千克·分钟）。男性%BF下降了11%，女性下降了7.1%，而两者体重均增加。方差分析显示，虽然这些变化显著，但接受相同训练计划的男女在反应上没有定量差异。数据表明，基础训练对那些入伍时VO2 max分别低于49 - 52毫升/千克·分钟和38 - 41毫升/千克·分钟范围的男性和女性构成了有效的体能挑战。此外，它有效降低了初始体脂百分比高的人的体脂含量，并增加了瘦体重，尤其是在女性中。
