Study Notes

Army Physical Readiness Training Overview

  • FM 7-22 serves as the primary doctrine for Army physical readiness training.

Principles of Training

  • Seven key principles shape the Army's PRT approach:
    • Commanders are responsible for training.
    • Noncommissioned Officers train soldiers at various levels.
    • Training is conducted as soldiers are expected to fight.
    • Training is conducted to established standards.
    • Continued training aims to sustain soldiers' readiness.
    • Multiechelon training enhances collective capabilities.
    • Focus on developing agile leaders and organizations.

Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills (WTBD)

  • Five critical WTBDs incorporate performance-based exercises:
    • Shoot
    • Move
    • Survive
    • Adapt
    • Execute battle drills.

Standards-Based Training

  • Key tenets include:
    • Leaders enforce known standards.
    • Success defined based on these standards.
    • Training goals are oriented to standard, not time constraints.

Phases of PRT

  • Four phases guide PRT implementation:
    • Initial Conditioning Phase focuses on foundational learning.
    • Toughening Phase builds fitness and movement skills.
    • Sustaining Phase develops higher physical readiness as required by positions.
    • Reconditioning Phase restores fitness for safe progression to toughening or sustaining.

Conduct Principles of PRT

  • Three guiding principles for PRT practices:
    • Precision involves strict adherence to optimal execution.
    • Progression indicates systematic increases in intensity and duration.
    • Integration ensures balanced training and appropriate recovery.

Components of the PRT System

  • Three essential areas:
    • Strength: Overcoming resistance capabilities.
    • Endurance: Sustaining activities effectively.
    • Mobility: Functional strength and endurance application.

Qualitative Performance Factors

  • Key factors that improve mobility:
    • Agility: Changing direction efficiently.
    • Balance: Maintaining equilibrium.
    • Coordination: Performing multiple tasks simultaneously.
    • Flexibility: Joint and muscle range of motion.
    • Posture: Various bodily positions.
    • Stability: Restoring balance against opposing forces.
    • Speed: Movement rate.
    • Power: Combination of strength and speed.

Types of Training in PRT

  • Encompasses three training types:
    • On-ground training: Maintaining ground contact.
    • Off-ground training: Involves brief airborne activities.
    • Combatives training: Techniques for close-range engagement.

Exercise Familiarity for Soldiers

  • Understanding exercises by name and movement ensures efficient training execution.

ARFORGEN Phases

  • Three phases impacting PRT schedules:
    • Reset: Focus on individual and collective training tasks.
    • Train/Ready: Prepares for collective deployment tasks.
    • Available: Readiness for immediate alert and deployment.

Pregnancy Postpartum Physical Training (PPPT)

  • Oversight of the PPPT Program is the responsibility of the U.S. Army Medical Command.

Risk Factors in PRT

  • Commanders must consider:
    • Environmental conditions and their impact.
    • Emergency procedures readiness.
    • Availability and safety of facilities.
    • Age and gender differences among Soldiers.
    • Individual conditioning levels within the unit.

Goal of Army Physical Fitness Training

  • Aim to develop capable Soldiers prepared for duty while promoting overall health and physical readiness.

Corrective Action Exercises

  • Specific low-repetition exercises may be selected for corrective actions, ensuring no more than five repetitions per drill.

Considerations for Failing APFT Standards

  • Leaders should evaluate:
    • Training duration and regular participation.
    • Impact of prolonged deployments.
    • Recovery from injuries or medical conditions.

Reconditioning Program Eligibility

  • Applies to Soldiers with:
    • Temporary medical profiles.
    • Recently completed recovery periods.
    • Permanent profiles needing special adjustments.

Command Delivery in PRT

  • Commanding movements involves addressing formations while maintaining attention, except during exercises changing positions.

Preparation Drill Exercises

  • Ten calisthenic exercises include:
    • Bend and reach, rear lunge, high jumper, rower, squat bender, windmill, forward lunge, prone row, bent-leg body twist, and push-up.

Recovery Drill Exercises

  • Five exercises include:
    • Overhead arm pull, rear lunge, extend and flex, thigh stretch, single leg over.

APFT Scoring System

  • Minimum score of 60 required per event and total score of 180, with maximum of 300; extended scale scoring prohibited.

Documentation Forms

  • DA Form 705: Records APFT results.
  • DA Form 3349: Details exercises for profiled Soldiers, including alternate aerobic events.

APFT Alternate Events

  • Distances for alternate assessments cover:
    • 800-yard swim, 6.2-mile stationary cycle ergometer test, 6.2-mile bicycle test, and 2.5-mile walk test.
