Definitions
• Physical fitness-The US Dept of Health and Human Services separates it into 2 categories:– Health-related fitness-The amount of
physical activity required to reduce the risk of disease or injury
– Performance-related fitness-The amount of physical activity required to achieve a physical goal
• Military physical fitness-The ability to physically accomplish all aspects of the mission while remaining healthy/uninjured
![Page 4: Physical Fitness COL Barbara Springer, PhD, PT Director, Proponency Office for Rehabilitation and Reintegration Office of The Surgeon General](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551636b9550346c6758b4fd4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Definitions (con’t)
• Physical Fitness Training-Consists of 4 major components: endurance, mobility, strength, and flexibility– Endurance-The body’s ability to continue to
accomplish a task over and over again– Mobility-The ability to move the body in
space with the precision necessary to negotiate an obstacle
– Strength-The ability to move an object in space
– Flexibility-Having the joint range of motion and muscle length required to move the body through space

Battle Focused Training
• Injury rates: What the research tells us– Fewer miles run per week = fewer injuries

Group ApproachGROUP GROUP DESCRIPTION
RED: LOWER BODY
Most restrictive profile- Lower body severe injury- NO IMPACT allowed (must bike or swim ONLY for cardio)- Examples include fractures, acute sprains or strains
RED: LOW BACK
Most restrictive back profile- Moderate to severe low back pain- NO IMPACT allowed (must bike or Stairmaster ONLY for cardio)- Examples include severe sprains and strains or disc herniations
AMBER: LOWER
Less restrictive profile- Lower body mild - moderate injury- Mild - moderate low back pain- SOME IMPACT allowed (OK to walk, Stairmaster, or elliptical)
AMBER: UPPER
Upper body, upper back, or neck injury- Generally these individuals are on a run at own pace profile, but often running
is painful because of the jarring and arm swing. - If running is painful but the profile is marked “run at own pace,” running will not
only aggravate the injury, but it will waste time the Soldier could be using to get a beneficial cardiovascular workout.
- If so, this Soldier should do some other form of cardiovascular training.
GREEN: SELF PACED
Upper or lower body SELF PACED - SOME IMPACT allowed (i.e. walk, run, swim, and bike at own pace; sit ups and
push ups at own pace)
GREEN: RECOVERY
Recovery phase of an injury- Requires 2x length of profile, up to 90 days

MetricsIncluded in Physical Therapists in the BCT Manual
• Screening – Functional Movement Screen (FMS)– Y Balance
• Performance (in addition to the APFT)– Illinois Agility Test– Medicine Ball Put– Vertical Leap– 40 Yard Dash– Pull ups/Flexed Arm Hang
• Injury Surveillance

Y Balance
•Assess physical performance•Identify chronic ankle instability•Identify risk for LE injury•Screen for sports/activities•Those with asymmetrical movement 2.7x more likely to sustain LE injury•Those with decreased forward reach 2.6x more likely to sustain LE injury•Improves with training•Good reliability

•Stands side on a wall and reaches up with the hand closest to wall
•Keeping the feet flat on the ground, the point of the fingertips is marked with chalk
•Steps slightly away from wall, and jumps vertically as high as possible using both arms and legs to assist in projecting the body upwards

![Page 23: Physical Fitness COL Barbara Springer, PhD, PT Director, Proponency Office for Rehabilitation and Reintegration Office of The Surgeon General](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551636b9550346c6758b4fd4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
40 Yard Dash
• A mobility measure • Begin at the start line in a 3 point
stance • On the command “Go” explode into a
straight sprint for 40 yards • Record best time of 3 trials
![Page 24: Physical Fitness COL Barbara Springer, PhD, PT Director, Proponency Office for Rehabilitation and Reintegration Office of The Surgeon General](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551636b9550346c6758b4fd4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Pull ups (Males)
•Upper body strength measure
•Hang freely from bar with palms facing away and elbows completely extended before starting
•Pull body upwards until chin is above bar
•Then lower to the start position ensuring elbows have extended completely
•Count reps (at top)
![Page 25: Physical Fitness COL Barbara Springer, PhD, PT Director, Proponency Office for Rehabilitation and Reintegration Office of The Surgeon General](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551636b9550346c6758b4fd4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Flexed Arm Hang (Females)•Upper Body endurance measure •Pull up bar: high enough to hang freely
•Soldier is lifted or steps up into position with elbows flexed and chin held above bar
•Palms should face away from her
•Time starts when support is removed and terminates when chin touches or falls below bar
