Manual work Physical fitness -- Measurement Soldiers -- Physiology Dissertations -- Physiology (Human and animal) Tesis (M. Sc.) -- Universiteit van Stellenbosch, 1990. The purpose of this study was to determine whether any increase occurred in the maximal oxygen consumption (V̇O2max) and fitness of servicemen over a period of 3 months basic training. A twelve minute endurance test (Cooper) was also done to ascertain if the test can be used as an indication of the VO2max. The study was done on two main groups (A and B) of subjects. Group A was tested on a treadmill before and after training and group B on a bicycle ergometer during which the V̇O2max and anaerobic threshold (non-invasive) were determined. Group B performed work with their legs and arms respectively. The twelve minute endurance test was performed on both groups before and after training. No increase in the V̇O2max or in fitness was indicated in group A. In the case of group B (arm work) a highly significant increase in V̇O2max occurred while the increase was significant in the case of leg work. An increase in the anaerobic threshold occurred during arm and leg work which indicate that more attention was given to individual arm and leg exercises during the period of training with probably more emphasis on arm activity. The distance covered in the twelve minute endurance test showed a low correlation with the V̇O2max attained during labour on the treadmill and during arm work on the bicycle ergometer. The best correlation was attained with leg work. The distance covered by both groups did not improve over the period of training. In the present study the test did not give a good indication of the V̇O2max which proves that the twelve minute endurance test can only be of value in the case of exceptionally motivated subjects.
