Physical conditioning enables athletes to meet all the physical requirements of their sport, perform well, and minimize their risk of injury. This study aims to determine the effects of eight (8) weeks conditioning training on the muscular endurance of Female Cadets of the Ghana Immigration Service Academy. The Army Physical Training Fitness Test (APFT) was used to evaluate muscular endurance levels of the Female Cadets. The quasi-experimental pre-test post-test study design was used to conduct the study. A total of 60 female cadets were randomly stratified into two groups based on APFT age categories (22-26) and (27-31) years. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test was used to test the hypothesis. Higher upper body muscular endurance performance as measured by the APFT was observed in the age group (27-31) years compared to age group (22-26) years. Significant difference was found in muscular endurance in the females age groups (22-26) and (27-31) years (P<0.05). Significant positive effect on muscular endurance after conditioning exercises for female Cadets in both age categories, (22-26) and (27-31) years (P<0.05) was observed. Conditioning exercises had a significant impact on APFT upper body muscular endurance performance in the age categories of (22-26) and (27-31) years.
体能调节使运动员能够满足其运动项目的所有体能要求，表现出色，并将受伤风险降至最低。本研究旨在确定八（8）周体能训练对加纳移民服务学院女学员肌肉耐力的影响。采用陆军体能训练测试（APFT）来评估女学员的肌肉耐力水平。研究采用了前测后测的准实验研究设计。根据 APFT 年龄段（22-26 岁）和（27-31 岁）将 60 名女学员随机分为两组。数据分析采用描述性统计、配对样本 t 检验和独立样本 t 检验来检验假设。与（22-26）岁年龄组相比，（27-31）岁年龄组通过 APFT 测量的上半身肌肉耐力表现更高。女性年龄组（22-26 岁）和（27-31 岁）在肌肉耐力方面存在显著差异（P<0.05）。22-26岁和27-31岁两个年龄组的女学员在进行调理练习后，肌肉耐力都有明显的积极影响（P<0.05）。在（22-26 岁）和（27-31 岁）这两个年龄组中，体能训练对 APFT 上半身肌肉耐力表现有显著影响。
