Abstract
Fitness Assessment scores separate detachments and are a representation of the physical fitness levels of those detachments. Average Fitness Assessment scores differ across detachments in the southwest region. Our goal is to gather these scores, create a schematic of the results, and try and draw a conclusion as to how the geographical positioning of these detachments might correlate to the scores. San Diego State University Detachment 075 elevation is 436 feet above sea level. When compared to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Detachment 028, the elevation difference is 4,864 feet respectively. The Fitness Assessment scores are not adjusted at ERAU to accommodate this difference in elevation. This dramatic difference in elevation is going to have an effect on cadet’s cardiovascular system and likely lead to a lower Fitness Assessment score. Additionally, the weather differences at these different detachments influence cadet’s ability to exercise outside. For these reasons, Fitness Assessment scores should be analyzed to compare and contrast scores to accurately find explanations to the differences in scores across detachments in the Southwest Region.
