In addition to task-specific training, performance of CSTs may be enhanced in tasks requiring strength and power by recruiting and retaining taller and heavier females with a higher BMIs. Allowances should be considered for soldiers and trainees who can successfully perform soldiering tasks with high physical demands despite less desirable anthropometric measurements.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/usz319","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,19]],"date-time":"2020-02-19T20:13:58Z","timestamp":1582143238000},"page":"376-382","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Relationship of Anthropometric Measures on Female Trainees\u2019 and Active Duty Soldiers\u2019 Performance of Common Soldiering Tasks"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"185","author":[{"given":"Jan E","family":"Redmond","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"U.
