Abstract

The foreign army researchers analyzed all working classification of hundreds of combat missions and carried out assessments on the traditional physical test standards to determine the abilities such as “lifting and handling, digging, walking and running,” as common tasks. Based on the above research from several countries, common military tasks were identified that provided the preference physical fitness in general goals set of the training program. The enlightenment to our army’s military training scheme is as follows: (1) Should follow the military training policy and directives; (2) Should be combined with the platform for development and reform, and the requirements of military physical training program; (3) Post the actual analysis of physical quality of common needs, develop optimal military physical training plans. In particular grassroots units, units engaged in combat missions for physical task analysis are relatively easy to operate, can fully demonstrate the common physical tasks, according to the physical needs, take the appropriate military physical education courses as a means of training, so as to improve the fitness level for army, and meet the needs to carry out combat missions.
