Can penguins and people get along? That’s one of the questions Citadel professor Dr. Paul Nolan is trying to answer.

A research study released by The Citadel in collaboration with the U.S. Army Public Health Center and the American Heart Association is the first to show that the low fitness of U.S. Army recruits from 10 Southern states poses a threat to military readiness and national security.

The Army’s problem of finding physically fit recruits at a time of rising obesity in the United States is especially acute in the South.
