IPPT standards of other armed forces

last SG · 2008-03-24T01:32:32+00:00

Our IPPT standards are embarassingly low, expecially for 18 and 19 year olds. Put aside nonsense like SBJ and look at the aerobic fitness standards.1.6km in...

I wonder if there are USMC that are so short.

But the 4.8 km run alot of SAF personnel jialat,

2.4 km alot already punk chek liao.

Hehehe

During my NS we always run at least 4 to 5km each time for morning jogs leh... I think depends on unit...

During my BMT, book out already, I come home to run 3km to 4km.

Everybody seem to hate running, but I am ok with running.

Only thing I fear is chin-ups, can pass, but normally I aim for gold because of $$$.

Chin-ups I can easily overcome by doing weights in my gym for 10 days.

too much running is not good for the knees because of cartilage wear.

I used to run 4km every alternate night.

I have this neighbour, she's able to run 10km on the treadmill everyday and she has a kid.

I was quite shocked by the distance, one day sat by the pool with other neighbours to confirm

that she stays close to one hour on the treadmill and the treadmill showed 11km.

Her heartbeat was abnormally slow, she even went to a cardiologist for checkup.

Can't remember if it was around 50-55 bpm or something, very very slow heart rate.

Nowadays I reduced running, and increased gym-ing...

Last few times i measured, my resting heartbeat varies between 57 to 62

normally if you do alot of cardio intensive, heart rate will be lower.

my neighbour is scary, everyday 10km, it's her daily routine.

considering the only time i ran 10km was during BMT,

when I sign up for some run @ ocs just so I can skip training.

even went for the career talk when I have no intention to sign on.

both earned me half day of escaping training.

2 secs his heart beats once.

He is near but not at the top aerobically, having a VO₂ max of 83.8 mL/kg/min — much higher than the average person (40-50) but not as high as that of some other

elite cyclists, such as Miguel Indurain (88.0, although reports exist that Indurain tested at 92-94) or Greg LeMond (92.5).^[2] His heart is 30% larger than average;

however, an enlarged heart is a common trait for many other athletes. He has a resting heart rate of 32-34 beats per minute with a max heart rate at 201 bpm.^[

SOC is to make you lau bak sai nia...

When I did mine, literally lau bak sai sia...

i hate the monkey bar and jacob ladder the most. anyway running with the rifle and SBO can nearly die.

How did you measure your heart rate?

Mine currently beats at about 60 bpm, resting, but I am a high beater. I do cardio runs on the Treadmill at 184+ bpm!

Currently, I am suffering from an injury so I am going to try using the exercise bike instead. Prob is it is hard to get heart rate up on the bike.

I did my SOC in 8min 50sec, that's my best time and subsequently I could never break that record myself. I only rememebr I was the last one in my group, after all the obstacles, I saw my section-mate and the only thing in my mine was chasing him literally, keeping him in sight.

I saw people fell from jacob ladder before...it's really a shitty thing to have happened...sprained ankle and some bruises at the thigh area.

My personal best was 8min 24 sec. Woo Hoo I beat an officer!

On a more serious note, like you I also cannot break that record in subsequent attempts no matter how hard I try. The obstacle I fear most is the swinging bridge. Its becoming a phobia for me. Very early in my NS days I fell once on the swinging bridge and hit my little brother against one of the bridge supports. Painful until I cannot talk for 10 min. Thereafter my legs will turn to jelly everytime I see the swinging bridge.

Edit: Correction. My best timing was 8:24, not 8:06

I failed SOC everytime till going to ORD, I pass with 9 min 2 secs

bryanw SG

whats the time to pass the soc? 12min20s?

yamizi SG

whats the time to pass the soc? 12min20s?

During my time, for OCS is not exceeding 9min 30sec. Not sure with other vocation.

BR,

Officers are human leh, not superman, how can everything also win people one?

lol

bryanw SG

err i talking abt the bmt soc.

Beyond Religion SG

err i talking abt the bmt soc.

During my time was 10:30 I think. Don't worry SOC timing in BMT (even in unit) very easy to pass wan. You will pass if you have discipline. Just don't stop no matter how tired you are... especially after you clear the last obstacle. The few people who failed because they jump down from the ramp, ended up in a squatting position and then lack the discipline and willpower to stand up immediately and continue.

bryanw SG

i rem i scared of the jacob ladder my feet will get stuck inside so dare not run down the ladder so fast.

yamizi SG

err i talking abt the bmt soc.

I was from obese batch BMT, so not required to clear SOC during my BMT.

Hehe.

bryanw SG

yes sir.
