According to the data on application of these standards in the group of 176 officers in the Yugoslav Armed forces, shown in the paper, even 53.4% og the officers have the aerobic capacity less than required for the duties they perform. Comparing their standards to those used in some other armies, the authors point out the validity of the same and an imperative to be introduced into Yugoslav Armed forces.
