Fitness Training and Assessment Performance at Air Force Basic Military Training in 2021
Abstract
US Air Force (USAF) Basic Military Training (BMT) is the initial entry point and training course for all enlisted USAF recruits and occurs at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, TX. Physical fitness training is vital to the BMT curriculum and an opportunity to teach our newest Airmen the Air Force way to exercise in order to pass their fitness tests and improve their health and wellness for the rest of their careers. With an increasingly sedentary and unfit population from which to recruit Airmen, preparing trainees to acquire the requisite fitness to pass BMT is a tall task from both fitness adaptation and injury risk perspectives.
