Define physical readiness |
Physical readiness is the ability to meet the physical demands of any combat or duty position, accomplish the mission, and continue to fight and win. |
|
|
What is FM 7-22? |
Army physical readiness training. |
|
|
What is the goal of the Army Physical Fitness Training program? |
The goal of the Army Physical Fitness Training Program is to develop Soldiers who are physically capable and ready to perform their duty assignments or combat roles. |
|
|
What are the phases of PRT? |
Initial conditioning, toughening, sustaining, reconditioning. |
|
|
What is the purpose of the initial conditioning phase? |
To establish a safe starting point for people considering entering the Army. |
|
|
What is the purpose of the toughening phase? |
The purpose of the toughening phase is to develop foundational fitness and fundamental movement skills. |
|
|
What is the purpose of the sustaining phase? |
The purpose of the sustaining phase is to continue physical development and maintain a high level of physical readiness appropriate to duty position and the requirements of the unit’s C- or D-METL as it applies to ARFORGEN. See AR 350-1 to reference ARFORGEN. |
|
|
What is the purpose of reconditioning? |
The objective of reconditioning is to restore physical fitness levels that enable Soldiers to reenter the toughening or sustaining phase safely, and then progress to their previous levels of conditioning. |
|
|
What are the principles of PRT? |
Precision, progression, integration. |
|
|
Define the precision principle. |
Precision is the strict adherence to optimal execution standards for PRT activities. Precision is based on the premise that the quality of the movement or form is just as important as the weight lifted, repetitions performed or speed of running. |
|
|
Define the progression principle. |
Progression is the systematic increase in the intensity, duration, volume, and difficulty of PRT activities. The proper progression of PRT activities allows the body to positively adapt to the stresses of training. |
|
|
Define the integration principle. |
Integration uses multiple training activities to achieve balance and appropriate recovery between activities in the PRT program. Because most WTBDs require a blend of strength, endurance, and mobility, PRT activities are designed to challenge all three components in an integrated manner. |
|
|
What are the 3 components of training that PRT incorporates? |
Strength, mobility, endurance. |
|
|
What is strength? |
The ability to overcome resistance. |
|
|
What is endurance? |
The ability to sustain activity. |
|
|
What is mobility? |
The functional application of strength and endurance. Movement proficiency. |
|
|
What are the qualitative performance factors? |
Agility, balance, coordination, flexibility, posture, stability, speed, and power. |
|
|
What is agility? |
Agility is the ability to start, stop, change direction, and efficiently change body position. |
|
|
What is balance? |
Is it the ability to maintain equilibrium. |
|
|
What is coordination? |
It is the ability to perform multiple tasks. |
|
|
What is flexibility? |
It is the range of motion at a joint and its surrounding muscles. |
|
|
What is posture? |
It is any position in which the body resides. |
|
|
What is stability? |
It is the ability to maintain or restore equilibrium when acted on by forces trying to displace it. |
|
|
What is speed? |
The rate of movement. |
|
|
What is power? |
It is the product of strength and speed. |
