The whistle of the year-end physical fitness assessment is approaching, and some officers and soldiers have started to have the idea of "last-minute cramming": working overtime to practice running, gritting their teeth and carrying strength, trying to "pass" the passing line through the rush training a few days before the exam. Physical fitness is the "second life" of soldiers, and it is not a skill that can be "mastered" by short-term assaults. Only by breaking away from the misconception of "pre exam assaults", integrating physical training into daily life, and cultivating habits, can we firmly win the year-end physical fitness assessment and develop strong abilities to fight and win battles. Assault style exam preparation may seem efficient, but there are actually many hidden dangers. The requirements for strength, endurance, and speed in physical fitness assessments require long-term and targeted training for officers and soldiers. If there is a lack of systematic training and the body's muscles and joints are in a "low load adaptation" state, suddenly engaging in high-intensity running, jumping, weight-bearing and other training will significantly increase the risk of muscle strain and ligament sprain. Some officers and soldiers suddenly increase their training intensity before the exam, and after practicing during the day and at night, they may experience muscle spasms due to excessive fatigue, resulting in distorted movements during running; Some people, in order to improve their pull-up performance, repeatedly pull hard on their shoulder and neck muscles regardless of their bearing capacity, resulting in muscle strains and inability to participate in physical fitness assessments normally. Physical training is a systematic engineering. The enhancement of muscle strength requires daily polishing, and the improvement of cardiovascular function also relies on long-term stable load stimulation. Just like building a house, you can't skip laying the foundation and directly build the walls. A last-minute assault will only overload your body, not only making it difficult to improve grades, but also potentially planting hidden dangers of injuries and illnesses, which is not worth the loss. On the other hand, those officers and soldiers with strong physical fitness and excellent assessment results all integrate physical training into their daily lives, prepare for and steadily improve throughout the year, in order to make the improvement of physical performance a natural process. Military sports model Shen Changjiang actively trains his core strength for 20 minutes every day after physical training. During lunch break, he uses equipment to do a set of arm strength training, and on weekends, he also runs 5 kilometers with his comrades. These fragmented trainings may seem insignificant, but long-term persistence has steadily improved his physical fitness, avoiding the fatigue of intensive training and cultivating good training habits in a relaxed atmosphere. At the end of the year physical fitness assessment, Shen Changjiang achieved excellent results in all aspects. He said, "There's no need to 'sprint' before the exam. Practice a little every day, and your body will adapt long ago." From intensive training to habit formation, it not only tests physical fitness, but also the self-discipline and responsibility of soldiers. The physical fitness of soldiers is directly related to their ability to win on the battlefield. If they do not practice hard skills in peacetime, they may miss out on opportunities during wartime due to physical exhaustion. Treating physical training as a habit is essentially taking responsibility for oneself and combat effectiveness. To improve physical performance, comrades may wish to develop a year-round physical training plan for themselves: long-term and targeted training for weak projects. For example, if the performance of the 3000 meter run is not ideal, one should persist in jogging for a long time and regularly increase several sets of interval running training; If the pull up performance did not meet the standard, you can use the training gap to do more pull bar movements and increase strength training. When training becomes a habit, physical fitness will naturally improve, and the year-end physical fitness assessment will shift from "stress testing" to "strength display". The essence of physical fitness assessment is to test the daily military sports training of officers and soldiers. Only by abandoning the lucky mentality of "last-minute assault" and training solidly with an attitude of "always ready" can we calmly cope with physical fitness assessments, and gain a healthy physique with long-term benefits and a combat readiness foundation that can be fought at any time. Everyone knows that developing good habits is the key to success. I hope my comrades can develop good habits of daily training and persist in them. Your physical fitness will definitely continue to reach new heights. (New Society)
