Assessments included the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), Lower Quarter Y Balance Test (YBT-LQ), handgrip strength, core endurance, Sense of Coherence (SOC-13) scale, and weekly physical activity (IPAQ).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Military training significantly improved FMS (males +6.9%, females +13.8%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01), YBT scores (left limb both sexes, right limb females +5.1%, p\u2009=\u20090.009), and SOC-13 scores (+5.1%, p\u2009=\u20090.011). Female participants also showed increased dominant-hand grip strength (+6.3%, p\u2009=\u20090.047). Core endurance exhibited minor, non-significant sex-specific trends, with a slight decrease in males and a modest increase in females (12\u201335%). The physical fitness control group showed smaller FMS and grip strength improvements, no significant YBT gains, and no significant SOC-13 change. Correlation analyses revealed positive associations between physical performance, psychological resilience, and training duration, suggesting mutual reinforcement of physical and mental capacities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 14-day military training program enhances lower-limb balance, functional movement, female grip strength, and psychological resilience.
