Holistic Health & Fitness FM 7-22 Flashcards
What does PRT Stand for?

What FM covers Physical Readiness Training (PRT)?
Fm 7-22
What does C-METL stand for?
Core Mission Essential Task List
What does D-METL Stand for?
Direct Mission Essential Task List
What does WTBD stand for?
Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills
What is the principle that all Army training is based on?
“Train as you will fight”
What is the objective of PRT?
To develop Soldier’s physical capabilities to perform their duty assignments and combat roles in accordance with their units’ METL
What fundamental skills to PRT activities include?
- Climbing
- Crawling
- Jumping
- Landing
- Sprinting
All contribute to the success in more complex skills of obstacle negotiation, combative, and military movement
What is the critical components of physical readiness?
Physical components, structural capabilities, and movement skills
What are the structural capabilities?
Load tolerance, flexibility, static balance, body composition, bone density
What are the physical components?
Muscular strength and endurance, aerobic and anaerobic endurance, and power
What are the movement skills?
Agility, coordination, dynamic balance, kinesthesia, pace, perception, and reaction time
What are the training phases of H2f?
Initial and sustaining
What is reconditioning?
A PRT phase with the goal of restoring Soldier’s physical fitness levels that enable them to safely progress to their previous level of physical conditioning
What principles does PRT follow?
Precision, Progression, and integration
HINT Associate principles with the acronym PIP
Discuss Sleep Readiness
Soldiers should sleep as much as they can, when they can, as the situation allows. The vast majority of soldiers require 7-8 hours of sleep per night to sustain performance; more sleep is better. Soldiers can maximize sleep and subsequent performance by timing sleep and caffeine use optimally. Finally, only sleep replaces lost sleep.
What is strength?
The ability to overcome resistance
What is endurance?
The ability to sustain activity
What is aerobic?
Low-intensity activity for a long duration
HINT Associate the phonetic “air” in aerobic, with LIGHT activity for a long duration
What is anaerobic?
High-intensity activity for a short duration
HINT Associate “an” in anaerobic with anabolic steroids; steroids = high
What is mobility?
The functional application of strength and endurance
Who should be able to explain and demonstrate all PRT activities?
Officers, NCOs, and PRT leaders
What elements does a PRT session consist of?
Preparation, activities, and recovery
HINT Associate elements and session with the acronym PAR
What does H2F stand for?
Holistic Health and Fitness
What are the principles of H2F and what do they mean?
Optimization, individualization, and immersion
Optimization is the proper combination of PT with health to achieve the best performance
Individualization means Soldiers receive personal feedback and coaching
Immersion means the H2F program affects all aspects of the Soldier’s life from PT, to duty hours, and off-duty
What are the five H2F domains?
Physical readiness, mental readiness, nutritional readiness, sleep readiness, and spiritual readiness
Discuss spiritual readiness
Spiritual readiness is a vital domain in the H2F System, and it directly impacts the resiliency of individuals and organizations. Encouraging Soldiers to connect and reflect on the worldview or value system that informs their core beliefs, principles, ethics, and morals can empower them to endure and overcome stress, hardship, and tragedy. Leaders have a responsibility to support spiritual readiness practices and create a climate where dignity and respect guide the process. Understanding common spiritual readiness practices enables leaders to support individual spiritual readiness development, sustainment, maintenance, and repair.
Discuss Mental Readiness
To optimize performance, Soldiers need to be mentally ready. Mental readiness is deliberately assessed and developed like any other skills through education, training, and practice. To use a computing analogy, addressing both physical and mental readiness is a “systems check” on both the “hardware” and the “software” that makes an effective Soldier.
The H2F System incorporates training techniques to develop individual and unit mental readiness.
