ABSTRACT
The study
was on the physical fitness of Nigerian Armed Forces personnel. The motivation
for the research was kindled by the observed variations in the results of
physically demanding tasks performed by personnel of the three Armed Services
in joint military operations. The study was to assess the physical fitness of
Nigerian Armed Forces personnel towards ensuring the proper assignment of
physically demanding tasks to the Nigerian Armed Forces personnel during joint
military operations in order to enhance operational efficiency.The research
methodology applied in the study was basically descriptive. Data were collected
using field method and document analysis. In achieving the purpose of the
study, 35 male and 20 female Nigerian Army personnel, 30 male and 13 female
Nigerian Air Force personnel and 25 male and 10 female Nigerian Navy personnel
were randomly selected to serve as participants in this study. The 3.2km
run/walk test for cardio-respiratory endurance, sit-up test for muscular
endurance, push-up test for muscular strength and BMI computation for body
composition were conducted on the participants. The data thus collected were
statistically analyzed. The findings of this study revealed that the Nigerian
Army personnel had significantly better cardio-respiratory endurance than their
counterparts from the Nigerian Air Force and Nigerian Navy. Nigerian Army
personnel also had significantly greater muscular strength and muscular
endurance. Furthermore, the Nigerian Army personnel had significantly more
favourable body composition. The performances of the participants in the tests
were measured against the physical fitness standards established for the
Nigerian Armed Forces. On the basisof the findings of this study, it was
recommended that during joint military operations, the highest volume of
physically demanding tasks should be assigned to the Nigerian Army personnel,
followed by the Nigerian Navy and then the Nigerian Air Force. In addition, it
was recommended that the three Armed Services should strengthen the physical
training programmes of their female personnel. Furthermore, it was also
recommended that the three Armed Services should embark on weight control
programmes for their personnel.

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND TO THE
STUDY
The promotion of
physical fitness through physical activity among children, adolescents and
adults has become a public health objective. In recent years around the world,
there has been serious concern over declining physical activity levels among
these segments of the population as a result of more time spent on less
vigorous recreational activities, such as Video Games and Watching Television
(Dinubile, 1993).
Research evidence
has shown that vast technological progress made in modern times has markedly
affected lifestyle of many societies and has crept into developing countries at
a fast rate, thus changing the whole pattern of our lifestyle, rendering the
whole generation inactive, declining their day to day performance at work and
during physical activity (Chado, 1992; Montoye, 1985).
Physical fitness
is an essential requirement not only for optimal health, but also for better
performance and quality of life (Hayward; 1998; Venkateswarlu; 2009, 2010). It
is of particular importance to Armed Forces all over the world, not only
because of its benefits, but also because it makes the soldiers battle ready. A
soldier’s level of physical fitness has direct impact on combat readiness. The
many battles in which American troops have fought underscores the important
role physical fitness plays on the battle field. The role of regular
participation in a sound physical fitness programme and maintenance of healthy
weight is to enhance a person’s quality of life, improve productivity and bring
about positive physical and mental changes (United States Presidents Council on
Physical Fitness and Sport: USPCPFS, 2005)....
