BACKGROUND: Reaching physical military readiness (PMR) requires a high level of athleticism. From 2022 to 2025, the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), a six-event assessment, measured PMR. The Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) produces >60% of commissioned officers, establishing a critical timepoint for identifying PMR related factors. Previous sport participation (PSP) may increase cadets' baseline physical abilities, however, its relationship with PMR has not been established.
PURPOSE: To examine the relationship between PSP, (total years of participation, number of sports, years of sport participation in tertials) and ACFT total and individual event score.
METHODS: 77 cadets (age = 20.40 ± 1.69yr; height = 175.75 ± 9.32 cm; mass = 76.96 ± 13.47 kg) completed demographic and PSP surveys concurrent with ACFT testing. Years of sport participation was divided into early (6-10), middle (11-13), and late (14-18) age ranges. Hierarchical linear regressions and bivariate Pearson's correlations assessed PSP-ACFT relationships (p < .05).
RESULTS: Total years of sport participation was a significant predictor of ACFT total score and 5 of 6 events, primarily driven by the late age range. Number of sports was not a predictor but correlated significantly with ACFT total score and 3 of 6 events.
CONCLUSION: greater PSP was associated with better ACFT performance, specifically late sport participation. Future research should continue to investigate this relationship.
