Download or read book Physical Training Program Guidelines for U S Navy Recruits Preparing Recruits for Battle Stations written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recruits at the Naval Recruit Training Center, Great Lakes, are required to complete an 8-week course of Basic Training prior to assignment to specialized schools. New requirements have been implemented to increase the physical fitness and readiness of recruits, including: (a) incorporation of Battle Stations into the final evaluation of recruits, (b) a directive instructing Recruit Division Commanders (RDCs) to assess the physical rigor of the training program to determine if the program is "too easy", and (c) a directive instructing RDCs to ensure that the physical conditioning program for women is sufficient to prepare them for successful completion of the final physical readiness test and Battle Stations. It was not within the purview of the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) to make recommendations to change Battle Stations. NHRC was required to incorporate six physical training sessions per week. Meeting Basic Training goals can be accomplished by providing each recruit with a comprehensive physical conditioning program designed to: (a) increase aerobic endurance, (b) increase muscular strength and power, (c) increase flexibility, and (d) decrease the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries. The successful execution of the physical conditioning program will increase recruit physical fitness, prepare recruits for Battle Stations, and increase Basic Training graduation rates.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Musculoskeletal injuries result in patient morbidity, increased training costs, and reduced operational readiness in military training populations. Recruits at Naval Training Center (NTC), Great Lakes, are at risk for exercise-related musculoskeletal injuries due to the sudden increases in vigorous physical activity associated with boot camp training. The objective of this research was to evaluate the physical training schedule at NTC, Great Lakes, and to develop a recruit physical conditioning program that would minimize musculoskeletal injuries and promote long-term fitness practices. Study Phases 1 and 2 included data collection to determine NTC recruit injury rates, pretraining and posttraining fitness levels, and patterns of training-related physical activity. A physical conditioning program was then developed targeting the training needs identified during study Phases 1 and 2. The program included exercises for cardiovascular endurance, muscle conditioning, and flexibility. All exercise techniques were modifiable for land-based shipboard environments and required no special equipment. We concluded that a needs-specific physical conditioning program based on scientific principles and epidemiologic data can be developed to maximize fitness gains and minimize exercise-related injuries in NTC recruits. This fitness program can be taught during boot camp to promote long-term fitness practices in U.S. Navy personnel.

This book was released on 2006-02-27 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) faces short-term and long-term challenges in selecting and recruiting an enlisted force to meet personnel requirements associated with diverse and changing missions. The DoD has established standards for aptitudes/abilities, medical conditions, and physical fitness to be used in selecting recruits who are most likely to succeed in their jobs and complete the first term of service (generally 36 months). In 1999, the Committee on the Youth Population and Military Recruitment was established by the National Research Council (NRC) in response to a request from the DoD. One focus of the committee's work was to examine trends in the youth population relative to the needs of the military and the standards used to screen applicants to meet these needs. When the committee began its work in 1999, the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force had recently experienced recruiting shortfalls. By the early 2000s, all the Services were meeting their goals; however, in the first half of calendar year 2005, both the Army and the Marine Corps experienced recruiting difficulties and, in some months, shortfalls. When recruiting goals are not being met, scientific guidance is needed to inform policy decisions regarding the advisability of lowering standards and the impact of any change on training time and cost, job performance, attrition, and the health of the force. Assessing Fitness for Military Enlistment examines the current physical, medical, and mental health standards for military enlistment in light of (1) trends in the physical condition of the youth population; (2) medical advances for treating certain conditions, as well as knowledge of the typical course of chronic conditions as young people reach adulthood; (3) the role of basic training in physical conditioning; (4) the physical demands and working conditions of various jobs in today's military services; and (5) the measures that are used by the Services to characterize an individual's physical condition. The focus is on the enlistment of 18- to 24-year-olds and their first term of service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of fitness and body composition standards in the U.S. Armed Forces has always been to select individuals best suited to the physical demands of military service, based on the assumption that proper body weight and composition supports good health, physical fitness, and appropriate military appearance. The current epidemic of overweight and obesity in the United States affects the military services. The pool of available recruits is reduced because of failure to meet body composition standards for entry into the services and a high percentage of individuals exceeding military weight-for-height standards at the time of entry into the service leave the military before completing their term of enlistment. To aid in developing strategies for prevention and remediation of overweight in military personnel, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command requested the Committee on Military Nutrition Research to review the scientific evidence for: factors that influence body weight, optimal components of a weight loss and weight maintenance program, and the role of gender, age, and ethnicity in weight management.
