1 00:00:10,989 --> 00:00:15,269 So what we've done today in unit to prepare for physical fitness, 2 00:00:15,369 --> 00:00:18,670 and learning outcome two, we've looked at the entry requirements 3 00:00:18,819 --> 00:00:25,770 for the military as in terms of physical ability. So the military have changed 4 00:00:25,870 --> 00:00:31,379 their fitness requirements dramatically over the past few years, as most people 5 00:00:31,479 --> 00:00:35,979 would be familiar with it used to be a mile and a half in 10 minutes 30, 6 00:00:36,189 --> 00:00:39,960 and also included a certain amount of press ups and a certain amount of sit 7 00:00:40,060 --> 00:00:45,120 where that's no longer the case. They've actually changed it to the role fitness 8 00:00:45,220 --> 00:00:51,099 test. So it's actually specific to the role that your enteringin. So each 9 00:00:51,340 --> 00:00:55,530 physical fitness assessment is dependent by role now. And it varies 10 00:00:55,630 --> 00:00:59,069 from if you want to go into an infantry role or if you want to go 11 00:00:59,169 --> 00:01:03,210 into an intelligence role where people's physical abilities do differ 12 00:01:03,310 --> 00:01:07,770 dramatically depending on the role. So now we've got the role related fitness 13 00:01:07,870 --> 00:01:12,760 test. So we started today for the initial fitness test we start with, 14 00:01:12,970 --> 00:01:16,020 it would have been the mid thigh pull and depending on the equipment that 15 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,279 you have available to you and most of these learners doing it by themselves, 16 00:01:20,379 --> 00:01:23,870 they might not have the equipment necessary. Other ways you can get around 17 00:01:23,970 --> 00:01:30,510 it is perhaps in general fitness around squats and, you know, around those parts 18 00:01:30,610 --> 00:01:35,970 of the body to make it simulate as close as possible to what the mid thing pull 19 00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:39,610 could be like. So that's what you would have seen that start the session. 20 00:01:39,879 --> 00:01:44,550 The next part of the session was the mutli stage fitness test, which has now 21 00:01:44,650 --> 00:01:48,840 been introduced due to covid restrictions. Otherwise, we would be 22 00:01:48,940 --> 00:01:54,239 doing a two kilometre run in 11 minutes 30, which is now different from the mile 23 00:01:54,339 --> 00:01:59,069 and a half, which most people are more familiar with. So the bleep test is over 24 00:01:59,169 --> 00:02:03,669 20 meter distance when most recruits would have to meet a minimum requirement 25 00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:08,039 of six point six to be eligible to most roles. So what you would have seen 26 00:02:08,139 --> 00:02:11,649 is a stronger in between the two shuttles and there's a set time 27 00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:16,169 between each shuttle getting increasingly faster as the bleep test 28 00:02:16,270 --> 00:02:20,409 goes along. So what you would have seen was some people dropping out around 29 00:02:20,509 --> 00:02:24,569 the middle level or five point five and six, and the ones who are probably 30 00:02:24,669 --> 00:02:29,789 aiming towards a more military as an infantry role, they would be scoring 31 00:02:29,889 --> 00:02:35,279 around eight and nines, which is a requirement for that regiment. We then 32 00:02:35,380 --> 00:02:39,399 go on to the medicine ball throw where you have to throw at least a minimum 33 00:02:39,580 --> 00:02:44,080 of two point seven meters with a four kilogram medicine ball, 34 00:02:44,770 --> 00:02:49,479 which is it is supposed to simulate the roles that you will be you doing. 35 00:02:49,580 --> 00:02:53,759 Once you get in the military you will do this on your initial entry, and then 36 00:02:53,860 --> 00:02:58,989 you'll then go on to your role related fitness testswhere there are seven 37 00:02:59,089 --> 00:03:05,239 RMT's, everything we do within the college is to prepare them for the seven 38 00:03:05,339 --> 00:03:10,199 RMT's, which will be adapted to around simulating pulling someone out 39 00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:15,299 of a vehicle or lifting ammunition on the top of your shoulder and every 40 00:03:15,399 --> 00:03:20,050 fitness test is supposed to be specific where each role has different 41 00:03:20,050 --> 00:03:22,479 requirements depending on the regiment you join.
