The Fitness Profile assesses overall physical fitness levels among Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members.
It combines two measures:
operational fitness, which is assessed via the FORCE Evaluation; and
health-related fitness which is based on an estimation of cardio respiratory fitness (derived from FORCE Evaluation results) and on a measure of waist circumference. |
