This investigation examined the impact of a Health and
Physical Readiness Program on Naval Air Station productivity
from January 1983 to June 1984 at Pensacola, Florida. Overall
scores on the Navy Health and Physical Readiness Test
were compared with Aircraft Maintenance Data and Medical
Morbidity Reports. Results indicate a dramatic improvement
in overall Health and Physical Readiness scores. A significant
decrease in the maintenance manhours and repair turn
around time was noted for a constant output of items processed.
Medical data revealed significant reductions in
injuries, motor vehicle accidents, circulatory diseases, alcoholic
treatments and weight control cases. Allowing for
the dynamic leadership provided by the Commanding Officer
and Executive Officer to the Naval Air Station, it still
appears that the Health and Physical Readiness Program had
a positive impact on Naval Air Station productivity.
