Effects of an 8-day field training on body composition, serum hormone concentrations and maximal force production in military conscripts
2015
Savolainen, S. 2015. Effects of an 8-day field training on body composition, serum hormone concentrations and maximal force production in military conscripts, 64p. University of Jyväskylä. Department of Biology of Physical Activity. Science of Sports Coaching and Fitness Testing. The aim of this study was to examine physiological consequences on 8-day strenuous military field exercise. 26 men (20 ± 1 yrs, 53,7 ± 4,5ml/kg/min, 178,4 ± 7,2cm, 71,2 ± 7,2kg) in the end of their military service participated in the study. The research data was collected in five testing day (pre1, pre2, middle, post and follow-up); body composition, physical performance and basal blood levels were measured. The c…
Reliability, validity and performance determinants of the military simulation test for the assessment of anaerobic performance in soldiers
2020
Introduction: Measurements of physical fitness have been identified as one of the most important research priorities in the military. Currently, the physical fitness tests of The Finnish Defence Forces (FDF) do not include a valid and reliable anaerobic test. In order to develop job-related task simulation tests, the purpose of the study was to determine the reliability and validity of a high-intensity military simulation test (MST), which is designed to assess the task-specific anaerobic performance of soldiers. The MST includes typical combat-related maneuvers while wearing a 20 kg combat load. Methods: 22 male cadets (22.5 ± 0.8 years) volunteered to participate. The MST was performed th…

Associations of serum 25(OH)D levels with physical performance and anabolic hormones in young men
2023
Purpose: The present study examined the association of vitamin D measured by serum 25(OH)D with physical performance outcomes and serum levels of anabolic hormones in young men.Methods: 412 young men (age 19 ± 1 year) entering their compulsory military service volunteered to participate in the study. The study consisted of two groups from two different military bases: Group A was studied in January and group B in July. The groups were first compared with each other and due to statistically significant (p < 0.001 analyzed with independent samples t-test) differences in physical condition (sit-up, push-up, and standing long jump-tests and testosterone levels) between the groups, groups…
Luistelumatolla tehtävän maksimaalisen hapenottokykytestin kehittäminen jääkiekkoilijoille
2012
Jääkiekkoilija tarvitsee aerobista suorituskykyä väsymyksen viivästyttämiseen, palautumiseen ja kuumuudensietoon (Gledhill & Jamnik 2007). Maksimihapenoton testaus on eräs menetelmä aerobisen suorituskyvyn selvittämiseksi. Maksimihapenottokuormitusmalleja on useita erilaisia, kuten suoria tai epäsuoria, ja jatkuvia tai epäjatkuvia. Maksimihapenottotestit ovat hyvin lajispesifejä, ja niitä voidaan tehdä esimerkiksi juoksu- tai luistelumatolla sekä polkupyöräergometrilla. Luistelumatto on testivälineenä varsin uusi, eikä sille ole vielä kehitetty yleispätevää testimallia. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli löytää jääkiekkoilijoille käyttökelpoinen, luistelumatolla tehtävä maksimihapenottokykytesti…
Kilpailusuoritusten ennustettavuus testitulosten perusteella maastohiihtomaajoukkueella kausina 2015-2016 ja 2016-2017
2017
Johdanto. Maastohiihto on vaativa ja monipuolinen kestävyyslaji, jossa sekä energiantuottoon liittyviä aerobisia ja anaerobisia ominaisuuksia että nopeus- ja voimaominaisuuksia. Huippuhiihtäjille harjoittelukaudella suoritetut eri ominaisuuksia mittaavat testit ovat merkittäviä harjoittelun ja kunnon seurannan kannalta. Testitulosten tulisi kertoa kunnon muutoksista eri osa-alueilla sekä näyttää suuntaa tulevan kauden kilpailumenestykseen. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää maajoukkuehiihtäjien testitulosten yhteyksiä kansainvälisen hiihtoliiton FIS -pisteisiin. Menetelmät. Tutkimukseen osallistui Suomen maastohiihtomaajoukkueen kuusi naisurheilijaa (ikä 29,9 ± 4,2 vuotta, pituus…
Physical fitness and anthropometrics in Finnish soldiers during their early career: prospective changes during a 3-year follow-up.
2020
IntroductionPhysical fitness is a fundamental capability required of military personnel, but studies focusing on longitudinal changes in physical fitness and anthropometrics in soldiers are lacking. The aim was to evaluate physical fitness and anthropometrics in soldiers during their early career.MethodsA 3-year prospective study included 180 male soldiers (baseline age 26±2 years) with measures of a 12 min running test, standing long jump, sit-up and push-up tests, and body mass, height and waist circumference (WC). Baseline data were stratified into tertiles, and the changes within each tertile were analysed using dependent t-tests and analysis of variance.Results12 min running test dista…
Effects of Task-Specific and Strength Training on Simulated Military Task Performance in Soldiers.
2020
A soldier’s occupational physical task requirements are diverse and varied. However, the type of physical training that most effectively improves soldiers’ occupational task requirements has not been studied previously. The purpose of this study was to determine the important strength characteristics for soldiers during a repeated simulated military task course, and the type of training that may be effective to improve these abilities during a specialized military training period. Forty-two (n = 42) soldiers participated in the study. They were divided into three training groups; a soldier task-specific training group (TSG, n = 17), a strength training group (STG, n = 15), and a control gro…
