PHYSICAL TRAINING<br />

It is physical fitness that enables a soldier to<br />

march into the valley of death, a sailor to sail<br />

the formidable high seas and an air warrior to<br />

soar into alien skies. Physical training is thus an<br />

important aspect of outdoor training and the aim<br />

of the Physical Training Team (PTT) is to build<br />

up the stamina, endurance and agility of a cadet. It<br />

is designed to allow each cadet to achieve excellent<br />

physical fitness and adequate proficiency in sports.<br />

A compulsory programme, it is rigorous and<br />

continues throughout from the Ist to the<br />

VIth term of the cadet. The programmes are<br />

implemented through scientific techniques<br />

in a phased and progressive manner. The<br />

comprehensive PT regimen ensures that young<br />

boys from civvy street are transformed into<br />

physically and physiologically fit cadets by the<br />

time they graduate from the Academy.<br />
