Limited data are available regarding strength and endurance training adaptations to occupational physical performance during deployment. This study assessed acute training-induced changes in neuromuscular (electromyography; EMG) and metabolic (blood lactate, BLa) responses during a high-intensity military simulation test (MST), performed in the beginning (PRE) and at the end (POST) of a six-month crisis-management operation. MST time shortened (145 ± 21 vs. 129 ± 16 s, −10 ± 7%, p < 0.001) during the operation. Normalized muscle activity increased from PRE to POST in the hamstring muscles by 87 ± 146% (116 ± 52 vs. 195 ± 139%EMGMVC, p < 0.001) and in the quadriceps by 54 ± 81% (26 ± 8 vs. 40 ± 20%EMGMVC, p < 0.001). In addition, higher acute BLa values were measured after MST during POST. Changes in BLa and EMG suggested an increased neural input and metabolic rate during POST MST, likely leading to faster performance times at the end of the operation. High EMG values throughout the different phases of MST suggested that despite the anaerobic nature of the test, the soldiers were able to maintain their voluntary muscle activation level until the end of the test. This indicates only limited neural fatigue during the two-minute high-intensity military specific performance. While learning effect may explain some part of the improvement in the MST performance times, combined strength and endurance training three times per week may improve neuromuscular performance in occupationally relevant tasks.

Effect of Prolonged Military Field Training on Neuromuscular and Hormonal Responses and Shooting Performance in Warfighters
Ojanen, Tommi; Kyröläinen, Heikki; Igendia, Mikael; Häkkinen, Keijo (Oxford University Press, 2018)Introduction: Previous studies have shown that military field training (MFT) has effects on warfighters’ hormonal responses, neuromuscular performance, and shooting accuracy. The aim of the present study was to investigate ... -
Performance changes during repeated military occupational test and its associations to physical performance
Ojanen, Tommi; Pihlainen, Kai; Vaara, Jani P.; Kyröläinen, Heikki (Taylor & Francis, 2023)The present study investigated performance changes during three runs (1 min recovery) of repeated military simulation task test (RMST) and its associations with physical performance.

Changes in physical fitness and anthropometrics differ between female and male recruits during the Finnish military service
Santtila, M.; Pihlainen, K.; Vaara, J.; Tokola, K.; Kyröläinen, H. (BMJ Publishing, 2022)Introduction: Military training programmes are often similar for male and female recruits despite sex differences in physical performance that may influence training adaptations during military service. The present study ... -

Granlund, Julius; Kyröläinen, Heikki; Santtila, Matti; Nindl, Bradley C.; Pihlainen, Kai; Ojanen, Tommi (MDPI AG, 2023)The objective of the present review was to evaluate the time-course of recovery of biochemical marker levels and physical performance after strenuous military training, and identify which biomarkers are affected. A systematic ... -
Neuromuscular and hormonal adaptations to resistance training : special effects of time of day of training
Sedliak, Milan (University of Jyväskylä, 2009)The majority of the processes in human physiology and behaviour exhibit daily variation. Neuromuscular performance has been repeatedly shown to be lower in the morning hours compared to the rest of the day. However, the ...
