註釋The present study examined the relationship between lifestyle factors and fitness testing results within a cohort of 2,037 male Marine Corps recruits from San Diego, CA in 2002. The project involved three separate approaches to prediction of success on boot camp fitness tests. Part one of the study determined the ability of a previously identified stress fracture prediction algorithm to predict lower fitness test results. After controlling for age, race and body mass index, those classified as high risk for stress fracture were more likely to have scores on their fitness test below the 10th percentile of physical fitness test scores than those at low risk for stress fracture (estimated relative risk = 2.02, 95% confidence interval = 1.45, 2.84). Part two of the study examined the effectiveness of self-report data in predicting objective fitness. Multivariate modeling of the fitness score revealed the following positive predictors of objective fitness after adjusting for age, race and body mass index: higher estimated number of pull-ups, higher self-assessed fitness, higher self-assessed frequency of sweating during physical activity, and self-reported competitive experience (p
