ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate physical development status on soldiers of Chinese people's armed tactical unit, as to provide basic data for selection of soldiers and health evaluation. Methods To measure the height, weight, chest cir-cumference for soldiers of Chinese people's armed tactical unit, to calculate the development index and then to com-pare and analyse Accordingly. Results (1)The height, weight, chest circumference, Index of weight, Index of chest cir-cumference and index of Vervaeck were significantly higher than that of local college students, and had significant dif-ferences (P<0.01). (2)The southern and northern soldiers in three indicators of height, weight, chest circumference were higher than GJB, and they all had significant differences (P<0.01). The height evaluation of northern soldiers was supe-rior to southern.The body symmetry degrees on soldiers of north and south had no significant difference (P > 0.05). Conclusion The physical development state of this armed police tactical unit soldiers were better than that of local col-lege students, achieved and exceeded the GJB, the height of northern soldiers were high than southern. The body sym-metry degrees on soldiers of north and south were all good. The excellent percent and better percent for Comprehensive evaluation of physical development were higher.
