PERFORMANCE OF ARMY PROFESSIONALS FROM A PHYSICAL POINT OF VIEW

Abstract

The probability of soldier success in the military missions is closely connected to the technology and various equipment, that they can use. Except for technology factors, the soldiers must meet their psychophysical and physical parameters. Usually, both psychophysical and physical personal parameters are evaluated during the recruitment process. The main problem could be within evaluation during common duties of the enlistment. The problems with evaluation could be connected to soldiers’ gender. The objective of the paper is to find out the relationship between gender and soldiers’ physical results. The sample consisted of 3317 persons, who attended army training by 15 km march. We employed the Pearson chi-square test to evaluate the potential relationship.
