AB  - The Gravitational Acceleration Test (G-test) is a demanding, and sophisticated 
      high-intensity physical activity, greatly influenced by individual body 
      composition and physical strength. This study analyzed the general nutrition 
      knowledge questionnaire (GNKQ) responses of Air Force cadets to identify the 
      relationship between nutrition knowledge, body composition, physical activity, 
      physical strength, and gravity-induced loss of consciousness. Based on the G-test 
      results, 105 fourth-year Air Force cadets were divided into two groups: GP 
      (G-test pass group) and GF (G-test fail group). The analysis items were GNKQ 
      responses, body composition, and physical strength analysis, based on which 
      independent sample t-tests , and logistic regression analysis were conducted. 
      Physical activity according to the G-test results was statistically higher in the 
      GP compared to the GF (vigorous activity reps/week, p = 0.017; mins/day, 
      p = 0.011). The GP Group showed a statistically high GNKQ score compared to the 
      GF Group: Overall (p = 0.003), Section 1 (p < 0.001), and Section 2 (p = 0.002). 
      Based on this study, it can be deduced that analyzing the effect G-test through 
      continuous research over the next years and applying them to physical training 
      will have a greater impact on the cadets' increased physical strength and their 
      success on the G-test.
