5. Exercise Descriptions: (Score Sheet Attached)

a. Pull-ups (MALES): Cadets will assume the hanging position on the bar using either an overhand grasp or underhand grip. Cadets begin the exercise by first raising their body until the chin is over the bar without touching it. To complete one repetition, the body must be lowered to the full-hang starting position. During each repetition, the body must not swing, legs must not kick or bend, and the pull must not be jerky.

Flexed-arm Hang (FEMALES): The cadet will begin this/her exercise by grasping the bar

with their hands, shoulder with apart – using either an overhand grasp or underhand grip. Assistant should then grasp cadet’s legs just above the ankles and lift her into the starting position, the command “go” is given, the assistant’s hold is released, and the stopwatch is started. Cadet holds starting position as long as she can. Event end and the watch is stopped when her chin comes to rest on the bar or drops below it. Kicking and other body movements are not permitted while the cadets are on the bar. Time will begin on the command “go” and stop when the cadet’s chin rests on the bar, the chin tilts backwards to keep it above the bar, or the chin falls below the level of the bar. Scoring is to the nearest second.

b. Standing Long Jump: With the toes of both feet positioned at the takeoff line, cadet jumps forward as far as possible. No preliminary step or hop may precede the jump. The cadet may bend knees, lower and raise body, swing arms and bring heels off the floor while preparing to jump (feet may not leave the ground completely except during the jump). Jump is measured from the takeoff line to the rearmost point (heel or other body part at landing).

c. 300 Meter Shuttle Run: This 300 yard event measures how quickly the cadet can complete six round trips between two lines spaced 25 yards apart. Run to the line, not past the line in making your turn, the line must be touched (feet, does not have to be touched by hand). To assist you in pacing yourself, the number of round trips you have completed will be called out aloud to you each time you return to the starting line.
