Figure 1

Box plots showing the distributions of recruits’ selected health profiles at baseline, mid-training, and academy graduation comparing (a) the historical control group (n = 92) and (b) the intervention group (n = 55). A. Body fat; B. systolic blood pressure; C. BDI-PC (Beck Depression Inventory for Primary Care); D. MEDI-lifestyle score; E. push-ups; F. pull-ups. The plots were derived from the recruits whose data were available at each time point. Post-hoc paired analysis with Holm adjustments were demonstrated by *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001. Body fat, systolic blood pressure, push-ups, pull-ups, and MEDI-lifestyle score are only available for one academy of the intervention group (n = 37).
