Effects of Ranger Training on Selected Measures of Strength and Cardiovascular Fitness

William P. Burke, Frederick N. Dyer

Abstract

Abstract : The effects of two-month long Ranger Training Course on the physical fitness levels of 167 Ranger students was evaluated in pre- and post-training administrations of a special physical fitness test which consisted of a modified Harvard Step Test plus pushups and chinups. All heart rate measurements from the step test showed on average significantly improved cardiovascular fitness for the students after training. They also were able to perform significantly more pushups but significantly less chinups than before training.
