    Abstract:
    21 soldiers completing their military service in the Austrian army were assessed before and at the finalizing of their basic military training, also to disarmament by spiroergometric and lactate tests according to their physical condition. Soldiers employed in fighting duties improved slightly in physical fitness at commencement of the basic training. By the time they reached disarmament there was significant improvement. The monitoring of administration personal significantly increased their physical fitness after the basic training, nevertheless the physical condition achieved before disarmament relapsed to the same standard as prior to military service. As a conclusion we suggest that the physical inactive group should be kept as small as possible and get an efficient training program in future.
