Allometric Scaling Of Air Force Fitness Test Performances In Men

To evaluate the use of allometric scaling for assessing the differences among BMI groups for performance on the Air Force Fitness Test (AFFT). Air Force men (n = 553, age = 18 to 50 y, BMI = 15.5 to 38.2 kg/m super(2)) were evaluated for 1.5-mile run (RUN), push-ups (PU), and sit-ups (SU). Performan...

Zusammenfassung:To evaluate the use of allometric scaling for assessing the differences among BMI groups for performance on the Air Force Fitness Test (AFFT). Air Force men (n = 553, age = 18 to 50 y, BMI = 15.5 to 38.2 kg/m super(2)) were evaluated for 1.5-mile run (RUN), push-ups (PU), and sit-ups (SU). Performance scores were allometrically scaled for body mass (BM) using RUN/BM super(0.33), PU/BM super(-.033), and SU/BM super(-0.33). BM was significantly correlated (p0.11) but not with RUN (r = -0.18, p
