Effects of marine training on infantry soldiers' neurobehavior and physiological function

  Objective   To study the effect of marine training on the soldiers' neurobehavior and physiological function.

  Methods   Before and after the training, the soldiers' neurobehavior function was tested by the Neurobehavioral Core Test Battery, the physiological function was tested by the indexes of body weight(BW), body fat(BF), hand strength(HS), vital capacity(VC), PWC₁₇₀, SOD, MDA and cortisol(C).

  Results   After marine training, the soldiers' negative effect decreased and the attention/response speed increased significantly(P < 0.01);the numerical value of HS, VC, PWC₁₇₀ increased and BW, BF decreased significantly(P < 0.01); the content of SOD increased and MDA, C decreased significantly(P < 0.05 or 0.01).

  Conclusion   The marine training would improve the soldiers' neurobehavior and physiological function.
