The Army Study Guide Physical Readiness Training (PRT) View on Mobile Part 3
This deck covers key concepts and phases of the Army's Physical Readiness Training (PRT) program, focusing on the toughening, sustaining, and reconditioning phases, as well as principles like precision, progression, and integration.
During the toughening phase what does a variety of training activities with precise standards of execution ensure?
that bones, muscles, and connective tissues gradually toughen, rather than break

During the toughening phase what does a variety of training activities with precise standards of execution ensure?
that bones, muscles, and connective tissues gradually toughen, rather than break
What do the essential skills of the Toughening phase activities develop?
jumping, landing, climbing, lunging, bending, reaching, and lifting
When does the toughening phase occur?
during IMT, basic combat training (BCT), one station unit training (OSUT) (red/white/blue phases), and Basic Officer Leader Course A (BOLC A)
What is the purpose of the sustaining phase?
to continue physical development and maintain a high level of physical readiness appropriate to duty position and the requirements of the unit’s C- or...
When are the Sustaining phase activities conducted?
in unit PRT throughout the Army

During the toughening phase what does a variety of training activities with precise standards of execution ensure? | that bones, muscles, and connective tissues gradually toughen, rather than break |
What do the essential skills of the Toughening phase activities develop? | jumping, landing, climbing, lunging, bending, reaching, and lifting |
When does the toughening phase occur? | during IMT, basic combat training (BCT), one station unit training (OSUT) (red/white/blue phases), and Basic Officer Leader Course A (BOLC A) |
What is the purpose of the sustaining phase? | to continue physical development and maintain a high level of physical readiness appropriate to duty position and the requirements of the unit’s C- or D-METL as it applies to ARFORGEN |
When are the Sustaining phase activities conducted? | in unit PRT throughout the Army |
What is the objective of reconditioning? | to restore physical fitness levels that enable Soldiers to reenter the toughening or sustaining phase safely, and then progress to their previous levels of conditioning |
When may Soldiers participate in reconditioning? | after rehabilitation and recovery from injury or illness, and then re-enter training in the toughening or sustaining phases |
What factors can cause Soldiers to move from the toughening or sustaining phases to reconditioning? | extended deployment, field training, block leave, and recovery from illness or injury |
What principles does the conduct of Army PRT follow? | the principles of precision, progression, and integration |
What is Precision? | Precision is the strict adherence to optimal execution standards for PRT activities |
What is Precision based on? | Precision is based on the premise that the quality of the movement or form is just as important as the weight lifted, repetitions performed or speed of running |
What does the Adherence to precise execution standards in the conduct of all PRT activities ensure? | the development of body management and fundamental movement skills |
What is Progression? | Progression is the systematic increase in the intensity, duration, volume, and difficulty of PRT activities |
What happens if proper PRT progression is not followed? | the Soldier is unable to adapt to the demands of training, the Soldier is then unable to recover, which leads to overtraining or the possibility of injury |
What is Integration? | the use of multiple training activities to achieve balance and appropriate recovery between activities in the PRT program |
What do Military movement drills (MMDs) improve? | running form and movement under direct or indirect fire |
What do guerrilla drill (GD) develop? | the strength and skill associated with casualty evacuation and combatives |
What are the three components of training? | Strength, Mobility and Endurance |
What is Strength? | Strength is the ability to overcome resistance |
What are the two subcomponents of Strength? | absolute muscular strength and muscular endurance |
What is absolute muscular strength? | the capacity of a muscle/muscle group to exert a force against a maximal resistance |
What is muscular endurance? | the capacity of a muscle/muscle group to exert a force repeatedly or to hold a fixed or static contraction over a period time |
What is Endurance? | the ability to sustain activity |
What are the two subcomponents of Endurance? | anaerobic and aerobic |
What is anaerobic? | the ability to sustain high-intensity activity of short duration |
What is aerobic? | low-intensity activity of long duration |
What are Examples of anaerobic training? | speed running, individual movement techniques, and negotiation of obstacles |
What are Examples of aerobic training? | foot marching, sustained running, cycling, and swimming |
What is Mobility? | the functional application of strength and endurance |
What are the eight Qualitative performance factors for improved mobility? | 1. Agility 2. Balance 3. Coordination 4. Flexibility 5. Posture 6. Stability 7. Speed 8. Power |
