摘要
This study compared physical fitness and cardiovascular risk factors between military officers (N = 23) and civilians (N = 17). Subjects were women (average age 43 years) who attended the U.S. Army War College from 1986-1991. Officers had less body fat, higher aerobic capacity, lower resting heart rates, lower resting diastolic blood pressure, higher HDL, and marginally lower triglycerides. Female military officers appear to be more fit and have lower cardiovascular risk factors than their civilian counterparts.
