Physical Demands of Brazilian Air Force Critical Combat Tasks
The evaluations of the biomotor skills involved in the performance of the critical CTs of the BAF demonstrated that the profile required of the BAF's tactical athletes is predominantly related to the components of muscular strength, muscular endurance, and aerobic fitness. Although further research is required to fully understand the physiological demands of CTs, the biomotor skills identified can inform the design of training programs, allowing for a more targeted approach.
