A Condição Física (CF) é uma das valências cruciais no meio militar, tornando-se
assim necessário entender o impacto da CF no desempenho dos militares. Outro
conceito referido nas Forças Armadas (FA), centralizado no indivíduo, é a resiliência, no
entanto, a grande maioria destes estudos aborda este conceito num ambiente
controlado. A tomada de decisão é outro conceito investigado no seio militar, já que
uma inapropriada decisão poderá desencadear o insucesso da missão. Atualmente,
existem diversas opções de analisar estes três conceitos individualmente, porém,
verificou-se que a conexão destes três tópicos em conjunto foi até hoje pouco
desenvolvida. A fim de correlacionar estas três grandes valências, criou-se uma Prova
Militar Adaptada (PMA) composta por três tarefas, realizadas de forma sequencial e
contínua: tiro, orientação desportiva e corrida.
O objetivo desta investigação passa por avaliar se um indivíduo com uma elevada
CF, tendo como indicador o Volume de Oxigénio Máximo (VO2máx), manifesta as
melhores tomadas de decisão, através da orientação desportiva, e uma maior
resiliência, através do desempenho no tiro, durante a PMA. A amostra foi composta por
quarenta elementos, com uma média de idade 20,48 anos (σ = 1,62). Na metodologia
aplicou-se a fórmula de Mahar et al. (2018) para o cálculo do VO2máx, a fórmula de
Tanaka et al. (2001) para a FCmáx e a fórmula de Quetelet (1870) para o Índice de Massa
Corporal (IMC). No tratamento dos dados foram utilizados os programas: Garmin
Connect, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) e o Microsoft Excel.
Os dados revelam que os indivíduos com um maior valor superior a 54,00
ml/kg.min de VO2máx, apresentam menos erros no tiro e menor distância percorrida na
orientação desportiva. Os resultados indicam que indivíduos com maior VO2máx
possuem maior resiliência e melhores tomadas de decisões em situações de stress e de
fadiga
Physical fitness is one of the most important values in military life, making this aptitude prominent in terms of understanding its influence in a military individual. Another concept considered and referred in the Military Forces is the resilience. Even though it is considered in laboratorial environment, it is investigated at organization and individual level. Decision Making is another value, also analyzed in military context, since one single wrong decision may provoke the mission’s failure. Nowadays, there are many options to interpret and analyze these three concepts individually. However, finding a correlation between those have been poorly developed and pursued. With the objective of solve that, it was developed, in this master thesis, one Adapted Military Test composed by three tasks performed in a sequential and continuous way: gunshot, sportive orientation and running. The objective of this study aims to evaluate if an individual with a high physical fitness, having as an indicator the Maximum Volume of Oxygen (VO2max), performs the best decisions through sportive orientation, and shows the best resilience results through the gunshot test. The sample was composed by forty elements, with an age average of 20.48 years (σ = 1,62). The methodology to achieve the results was based in: the Mahar et al. (2018) formula for the VO2max calculation, the Tanaka et al. (2001) formula for the maximum cardiac frequency, and the Quetelet (1870) formula for the body mass index. In the data analysis, there were software programs used such as: Garmin Connect, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and Microsoft Excel. The results obtained reveal that individuals with higher VO2max, above the threshold 54,00 ml/kg. Min, presented less error making in the gunshot and less distance traveled in the sportive orientation. In conclusion, these individuals present higher resilience and better decision making in stress conditions.
