REVIEW OF THE CURRENT PRE-FLIGHT PHYSICAL FITNESS AND SURVIVAL PROGRAM.

Abstract

The purpose of the research was to evaluate the present pre-flight physical fitness and survival program and to determine if it were properly oriented to facilitate maintenance of a good level of physical fitness as the student progresses along his naval career. The degrees of physical fitness as observed cadets graduating from pre-flight are good, but the cadet is not motivated nor oriented to maintain a good level of physical fitness. It is recommended that the pre-flight physical fitness and survival program be revised and oriented along lines so that the activities of pre-flight may be carried over in order to maintain a good degree of physical fitness throughout one's naval career.
