The U.S. Marines Corps collaborated with scientists from the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine to conduct a multi-center study assessing the USMC Body Composition and Military Appearance Program. A volunteer in the Marine Corps body composition study performing a countermovement jump test on a calibrated force platform. This is a laboratory test of explosive power that has been used in many other physical performance studies which can be used for performance comparisons. Explosive power is one important component of the myriad performance capabilities required of Marines, where every Marine is a basic rifleman.
