Summary
This study looked at how different types of exercise affect physical performance and readiness in 44 healthy young adults in a reserve officer training program. Participants were split into three groups: high-intensity functional training, traditional strength training, or a mix of strength and aerobic training. Over 8 weeks, researchers measured changes in body composition, strength, and aerobic capacity to see which approach works best.
