Abstract
In order to analyze the Physical Combat Proficiency Test (PCPT) in terms of the physical fitness factors measured by the Basic Fitness Tests (BFT), both tests were administered to 149 soldiers. The correlations of the PCPT with the BFT were interpreted as factor loadings. The PCPT loaded (.30 or above) on Dynamic Flexibility, Dynamic Strength, Explosive Strength, and Stamina. With the exception of Grenade Throwing, all of the PCPT subtests loaded on at least one of the fitness factors. It was concluded that the PCPT is mainly a test of physical fitness, thus calling into question the rationale for including Grenade Throwing since it was unrelated to physical fitness.
