Air Force volunteers to undergo new fitness regimen
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE — The Air Force plans to work with Wright State University and the University of Dayton to determine whether a new physical fitness training regimen can help military personnel perform better.
The research agreement is between the 711th Human Performance Wing and the schools.
The proposed research will investigate the effects of CrossFit type training, a fitness method using minimal equipment; kettlebell training, a method used to train the Russian military; and a combination of kettlebell training and running, the Air Force said Wednesday, April 15.
The Air Force fitness test (running, sit-ups and push-ups) will be used to assess volunteer participants before and after the 12-week training course to determine any changes in fitness status. Participants also are to undergo physiological and functional tests.
