Twelve weeks of concurrent resistance and interval training improved seated medicine ball throw, casualty drag, single lift, water can carry, repeated lift and carry, 2-km load carriage and 2-km run performance, military occupational performance measures that comprise the British Army Role Fitness Test for Soldiers (RFT(S)).Men and women demonstrated similar military occupational performance improvements from pre- to post-training, however, men performed better than women in all measures.Simple linear regression analyses between improvements in RFT(S) tasks and measures of physical fitness (one-repetition maximal strength, upper body power, lower body power, aerobic capacity) demonstrated limited significant associations suggesting that military occupational performance improvement relies on simultaneous development of multiple fitness domains.
