Effect of a 6 month deployment to Afghanistan on physical fitness and body composition of Croatian Armed Forces

Engagement in military operations is considered an extremely physically demanding job. To meet these hard physical requirements soldiers are engaged in everyday physical training. However, during deployments soldiers are often deprived of such training routines and can experience significant decrements in physical fitness (PF). The main goal of the study was examining the change in PF and body composition (BC) after a 6-month military deployment to Afghanistan.
