1 Physical Conditioning for Initial Military Training CPT Paul C. Henning, Ph.D., CSCS Research Physiologist, Military Performance Division U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine Natick, MA Basic military training Overview Problems associated with basic military training Risk factors for training-related injuries Civilian and military fitness trends Physical fitness screening Practical guidelines for recruits 1
2 Initial Military Training Initial Military Training (IMT) also known as basic combat training, basic training, boot camp Army: 10 weeks Navy: 8 weeks Air Force: 8 ½ weeks Marines: 13 weeks Initial Military Training Fundamentals of soldieringspanning warrior tasks, physical training, combative tactics, and military customs and courtesies. Daily schedules are highly structured and are physically stressful Physical aspects of U.S. Army basic combat training by phase (Henning 2011, SCJ) Component of BCT Phase I Phase II Phase III Physical Aspects Daily physical readiness training (PRT) (running, calisthenics) Marching drills Combat skills Bayonet training Personnel carrying methods Daily physical readiness training [PRT) (running, calisthenics) Tactical foot march Engagement skills Situational training exercises (STX) Daily physical readiness training (PRT) (running, calisthenics) 10km and 15km foot marches Field training exercises (FTX) Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) 2 minutes of sit-ups 2 minutes of push-ups 2 mile timed run 2
3 Problems associated with IMT IMT related musculoskeletal injuries significantly impact Department of the Army. Evident in other countries (Israel, Finland, Australia) - ~25% male and 50% female recruits sustain one or more injuries during basic combat training (BCT) (Technical Bulletin Medical 592, U.S. Army) Problems associated with IMT Cost during FY 2005 estimated at $57,500 per discharged recruit. (Niebuhr, 2008) National Research Council Committee on the Youth Population and Military Recruitment highlighted entry-level training-related injuries as the single most significant medical impediment to military readiness. Overuse injuries account for 70 to 80% of IMTrelated musculoskeletal injuries and thus more than half of all disability discharges among firstyear recruits (Niebuhr, 2006) 35 % of injuries in males & females * Females Males 0 Stress fractures Anterior knee pain Achilles tendonitis Back pain Ankle sprain * p<0.05, significantly greater than males 3
4 Physical Fitness and Training-Related Injury Risk Researchers identified multiple risk factors for training-related injury with physical fitness being a prominent risk factor. Molloy et al 2012 Physical Fitness and Training-Related Injury Risk Each fitness component impacts risk to a varying degree Low aerobic fitness most strongly and consistently associated with increased injury risk (Jones & Knapik, 1991; Rauh et al 2006) Low aerobic fitness and low muscular endurance are risk factors for injuries in other countries, including Australia, Norway, England, and Israel (Pope et al 1999; Heir 1997; Rayson 2003) 4
5 Physical Fitness and Training-Related Injury Risk Strength asymmetries (left to right side differences) associated with increased risk (Kiesel et al 2007) Low BMI lesser muscle or bone mass, underweight recruits may lack strength required for strenuous tasks (e.g. load carriage) (Blacker et al 2008) Civilian and Military Fitness Trends Today s youth appear less prepared for entry-level training than their predecessors given close relationship between timed running performance and IMT aerobic fitness requirements (Molloy et al 2012) Report shows low aerobic fitness levels among 1/3 of American youths aged (Pate et al 2006) Civilian and Military Fitness Trends Physical fitness of young men in Norwegian, Finnish, and Swill Armies decreased over last 20 years (Dyrstad et al. 2005; Santtila, et al. 2006; Wyss, et al. 2009) Steadily increasing failure rates on Army s physical assessment test suggest decline in recruit fitness ( ) 5
6 Civilian and Military Fitness Trends Civilian and Military Fitness Trends Civilian and Military Fitness Trends CDC reported an increase in obesity (defined as BMI > 30) among Americans across past 2 decades. Excessive weight/body fat remains primary reason for recruit medical disqualifications (Accession Medical Standards Analysis & Research Activity, 2010) 6
7 Physical Fitness Screening Only Marines and Navy screen recruits preenlistment fitness levels. PCH1 Marine recruits must pass standardized Initial Strength Test (IST) before proceeding to basic training Physical Fitness Screening Physical Fitness Screening Recruits must again pass IST upon arrival at basic training. IST failures assigned to Physical Conditioning Platoon (PCP) to improve fitness before beginning basic training. 7

9 Physical Fitness Screening 1999 Army s TRADOC administered test to all recruits before beginning IMT. Recruits that failed assigned to Fitness Training Unit (FTU). Recruits remained within FTU until passing the test and progressing to BCT. FTU reduced injury risk and attrition, this enabling Army to retain ~516 recruits and save over $14 million annually in early 2000s (Knapik et al 2004, Knapik et al 2006) Physical Fitness Screening Army eventually discontinued testing and automatic assignment to FTU. Currently, FTU assignment limited to recruits who repeatedly fail the APFT despite completing all other BCT requirements As of July 2011, ~93% of recruits in FTU at Fort Jackson achieved BCT standards for APFT (50 points per event) after performing Physical Readiness Training (PRT) for 2-4 weeks (M. Reed, personal communication, 2011 Physical Fitness Screening Army conducted an Assessment of Recruit Motivation and Strength (ARMS) ( ). Consisted of modified Harvard step test and 1-minute push-up test Attrition rates significantly higher among ARMS failures (Niebuhr et al 2008). Recruits who passes ARMS test received body composition enlistment waivers. Increased risk of injury but not attrition (Cowan et al 2011) 8
10 Physical Fitness Screening RAND reported ARMS program accessed an additional 3690 recruits in FY 2007 at an estimated per-recruit cost of $163 (Loughran and Orvis) Army discontinued ARMS testing in September 2009 due to improved recruiting environment. Physical Fitness assessment Australian Defence Force Summary of studies on basic training Inadequate preparatory physical conditioning results in poor fitness test performance and increased risk of musculoskeletal injuries, thus contributing to attrition rates in basic training 9
11 Practical guidelines for recruits Medical attrition rates of 4 cohorts of recruits undergoing basic military training (BMT) Group A (n=3475)-mixture of fit and unfit recruits Trained under standard combat BMT program Group B (n=2081)-only fit recruits Passed pre-bmt fitness minimum criteria Group C (n=940)-unfit recruits Underwent pre-training conditioning program from 4-6 weeks prior to a similar 3-month BMT Group D (n=2613)-unfit recruits Underwent extended 4-month BMT which allowed more gradual pace 10
12 A formal pre-training conditioning program resulted in lower attrition during BMT and this reduction was more effective than training the recruits at a slower pace by extending the BMT by one month Three groups of recruits at Fort Jackson, SC PC : failed entry level PT test and entered FTU. Trained until pass test and entered BCT. NPC: failed entry level PT test; allowed to enter BCT without preconditioning in FTU NNPC: passed the entry level PT test and went directly to BCT 11
13 12
14 The proportions of NPC, PC, and NNPC recruits who completed the 9-week BCT cycle were 59%, 83%, and 87% for men (p < 0.01) and 52%, 69%, and 78% for women (p < 0.01) respectively. Compared with NNPC men, injury risk was 1.5 and 1.7 times higher for PC and NPC men, respectively. Compared with NNPC women, injury risk was 1.2 and 1.5 times higher for PC and NPC women, respectively. Conclusion: Low-fit recruits who are preconditioned have reduced BCT attrition and tend to have lower injury risks compared with low-fit recruits who do not precondition. 13
15 Program design for potential recruits Physical fitness ability to perform sustained physical work characterized by an effective integration of cardiorespiratory endurance, strength, flexibility, coordination, and body composition (Miller et al. 1991) Program design for potential recruits ACSM well-rounded training program should include aerobic and strength training for the major muscle groups. Frequency of 3-5 and 2-3 training sessions per week recommended for improving aerobic fitness and muscular strength, respectively. When recommendations met, improvements in task performance in military settings have been observed in as little as 4-8 weeks (Frykman et al. 2006; Harman et al. 2006; Sharp et al 2006) Effects of Concurrent Resistance and Aerobic Training on Load- Bearing Performance and the Army Physical Fitness Test (Kraemer et al. 2004) Purpose - Examine how concurrent RT and ET would impact a loaded 2-mile run in male Army personnel.

Meeting minimum pre-enlistment fitness standards could screen out individuals who fail to respond or lack motivation to adhere to an exercise program. Screening could positively influence injury and attrition rates A pre-imt fitness program and standardized fitness guide address this need (Rieger & Scott, 2006) 18
20 Conclusion and summary Training-related injuries negatively impact the military services Low (particularly aerobic) fitness levels among recruits associated with increased risk for injury and attrition. Recommend that pre-enlistment fitness screening be conducted whenever possible would likely decrease attrition and injuries. Preparatory physical conditioning program conducted by recruits has been research-proven to attenuate attrition and injuries during IMT.
