Preparing for the Army Combat Fitness Test is the ideal resource to
help you assess your readiness and train for the Army Combat
Fitness Test (ACFT). Because soldiers operate on a
three-dimensional battlefield where physical demands are often
variable and unpredictable, the Army's revised physical test
provides a more diverse measurement of a soldier's physical
abilities than its predecessor. But if you are one of the 200,000
annual recruits or the 1.2 million active duty soldiers who must
pass these new protocols, this diverse test may bring anxiety and
uneasiness. That is where this essential guide can help. Backed by
the expertise of the National Strength and Conditioning Association
(NSCA), Preparing for the Army Combat Fitness Test is the first
book on the market to address the requirements of the ACFT and
provide you with the tools you need to be prepared for testing day.
Consisting of six events-the 3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift,
Standing Power Throw, Hand Release Push-Up-Arm Extension,
Sprint-Drag-Carry, Leg Tuck, and Two-Mile Run-the ACFT will test
physical characteristics that you can develop and cultivate with
the training guidelines in this book. For each testing event,
you'll find a description of the test, instructions on performing
the test safely and effectively, and scoring standards so you know
the minimum performance requirements to pass and avoid being
disqualified on testing day. To begin, you will be guided through a
self-assessment that will allow you to determine your current
readiness and select a training program to maximize your
performance outcomes. A variety of sample training plans are
provided so you can select a plan based on how much time you have
to prepare for the ACFT and the amount of time you have available
to train. Choose from 24-, 12-, 8-, or 4-week plans that contain
workouts for two, three, four, or five days a week. Setup and
execution guidelines are provided for over 100 exercises, so you
can safely and effectively execute the exercises assigned within
your training program. Accompanying photos visually demonstrate how
to perform the exercises. If you don't have access to the necessary
equipment for the primary exercises, suggestions are offered for
replacement exercises that are similar in movement and training
outcome. Completing this comprehensive training resource is
valuable supplemental information about nutrition, hydration,
physical and mental recovery, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
The ACFT does not have to feel overwhelming. With a good
preparation plan and commitment to training, you can show up on
test day with confidence. Preparing for the Army Combat Fitness
Test will give you the edge you need to excel and achieve your best
on the Army Combat Fitness Test. Get more help from the app!
