Pulling strength may be a determining factor in leg tuck performance, which is likely not indicated by the plank.Īrmy Combat Fitness Test Illinois agility test abdominal strength backwards overhead medicine ball throw between-sex differences females firefighters pull-ups push-ups tactical.Įscamilla R.F., Babb E., DeWitt R., Jew P., Kelleher P., Burnham T., Busch J., D’Anna K., Mowbray R., Imamura R.T. Approximately 80% of the females could complete one leg tuck, although female personnel may require specific strength and power training. Sex, pull-ups, and push-ups predicted the leg tuck ( r 2 = 0.674). The strongest leg tuck relationships were with pull-ups ( r = 0.790) and push-ups ( r = 0.553). The largest difference was for the BOMBT ( d = 2.59) not the leg tuck ( d = 1.28). Male trainees outperformed females in all tests ( p ≤ 0.003). Partial correlations and stepwise regression (controlling for sex p < 0.05) calculated relationships between the leg tuck with the other tests. Independent samples t-tests ( p < 0.05) and effect sizes ( d) compared the sexes.

This study investigated the leg tuck in a firefighter trainee population (274 males, 31 females). There is limited leg tuck research, including between-sex comparisons and relationships with other fitness tests. The leg tuck was replaced by the plank in the Army Combat Fitness Test, in part because it was felt it discriminated against women.
