presents the following recommendations to the Army Medical Research and Development Command regarding body composition and physical performance as it relates to accession and retention standards for the military services: · All services should develop job-related physical performance tests to use for accession into military service.

If the military determines that a trim military appearance is important, objective criteria should be developed to the extent possible for appearance evaluation. · For individuals who face separation from the service for failing to meet body composition standards, it is suggested that the military identify a limited number of military centers that can perform more specific measurements of body composition (for example, dual photon densitometry, underwater weighing, and body water)

Research on the following topics is recommended: . the development of service-specif~c standard tests of military performance that more accurately reflect military activities; · the relationship of body composition to military and physical performance among men and women, including consideration of the relationships of lean body mass, height, and physical performance; · the relationship of body fat distribution and body composition to long-term health outcome in career military personnel, specific for race and gender; and .
