A responsible approach to any business is the key to success. Even upcoming military service by conscription or contract requires a citizen to... It consists of psychological training, collecting documents, personal belongings, as well as regular physical exercise. Good physical shape will be useful for conscripts in everyday life, and for a future contractor it will generally become a determining factor.
After considering the application for the desire to serve under a contract, one of the tests for the applicant is passing physical fitness standards. Many applicants for signing an agreement search on various resources for information where individuals are indicated. standards for contract workers. According to their assumption, they are presented in the form of certain absolute indicators for all provided exercises, but even the fact that the same requirements cannot be imposed on people of different ages indicates a more complex distribution of physical standards.
Legislative aspects of introducing standards for military personnel
All issues of physical training of military personnel are reflected in a special regulation approved by Order of the Minister of Defense No. 200 of April 21, 2009. This document was called: “Manual on physical training in the RF Armed Forces” and is an appendix to this order. According to it, FP is considered the basis of military readiness. Increasing the level of preparedness entails improving the combat effectiveness of all armed forces.
The main goal of the FP is to improve the quality of training of personnel to perform any combat missions. In progress sports activities qualities such as endurance, speed, agility are improved. The fighter must move freely over rough terrain and overcome various obstacles, including water and snow. A meeting with the enemy can result in direct contact, so during classes there are elements hand-to-hand combat.
When conducting classes, as well as when checking the level physical fitness all military personnel serving under a contract or applicants for signing a contract are divided into catch age groups:
- Group 1 – up to 25 years;
- Group 2 – up to 30 years;
- Group 3 – up to 35 years;
- then, at intervals of five years, the serial number of the group increases. The last group, 8th, corresponds to ages over 55 years.
A similar division is implied for women, with the difference that the last 6th group covers the category of people over 45 years of age.
Level physical training, tested upon entry into contract service, is assessed when performing certain exercises using a point system. This regulation establishes the minimum limits for making a positive decision on the suitability of a candidate. Citizens already enrolled in contract service periodically undergo a similar check. If physical training standards in the RF Armed Forces have higher values than the obtained indicators, then the serviceman is given a five-month period to correct the situation. Repeated retake will allow you to avoid the certification commission, at which the issue of exclusion from the Armed Forces may be decided.
Physical fitness requirements when entering contract service
The level of physical fitness of candidates applying to sign a contract is determined by the results of passing entrance tests. They are held on a separate day so that the citizen has the opportunity to sports uniform and comfortable shoes to pass the standards. Indicators for different age categories are defined in the appendix of the manual on AF. The meanings are different for men and women.
On the appointed day, the applicant chooses one of the exercises to pass, which determines a particular quality. There are three exercises in total. If a military man fails to cope with at least one of them, then you can’t count on admission.
After a six-month break, which it is advisable to spend on intensive training, the citizen has the right to again apply for signing a contract. Passing the standards practically ensures passing the examination. All results are stored in a specially created card until the moment of dismissal from service.
Endurance, strength and speed are assessed based on the results of running over different distances, performing exercises on the horizontal bar and “push-ups”. Applicants whose age has not exceeded the 30-year mark are required to do at least 45 push-ups. For the older generation, the norm is reduced by 5 units. The correct name of the exercise is flexion and extension of the arms, for women it sets the norm only 12 times. Pull-ups on the bar for men are defined as 10 or 8. Only two age categories are considered here. Women given strength exercise they don't rent.
Endurance is tested by a 1 km run, a 3 km run and a 5 km cross-country ski race. A young man must run one kilometer in 4 minutes and 20 seconds. The older category receives a concession in the form of an additional 25 seconds. The female figure is 5 minutes 20 seconds and 5 minutes 45 seconds, respectively. Speed exercises include the 100 meter sprint, 60 meter sprint and 10x10 shuttle run. A man should run the 100-meter dash in 15.0–15.8 seconds, a woman in 19.5–20.5. Applicants must show maximum acceleration at a distance of 60 meters. Passing the test will provide a figure of 9.8 seconds. It must be emphasized that women do not participate in the 3 km run or cross-country skiing.
Modern armies are equipped with weapons that do not require special physical effort to use. Pressing a button or moving a joystick is ready to set in motion and direct multi-ton missiles or tanks to the target, bring them to starting position missile-carrying submarine cruiser. But as before, the final argument, which comes into force when all reserves of weapons have been exhausted and one cannot rely on technology, is the personal confrontation of opponents, when victory depends only on physical strength agility and endurance of a soldier.
The criteria for good physical fitness are especially relevant for employees of “special forces” - airborne and reconnaissance units who most often have to engage in direct physical combat with enemy soldiers.
Order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation dated April 21, 2009 No. 200, on the approval of the Regulations “Manual on Physical Training in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation” is perhaps one of the few orders signed by the former Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation A. Serdyukov, which was not subject to devastating criticism. However , this Order did not introduce anything new into the practice of physical training of soldiers of the Russian army. He only consolidated the forms and methods of physical training of military personnel in the Russian Army, proven over decades, and made some adjustments taking into account the changing living conditions and physical training of the population.
The provision provides for multi-stage criteria for assessing the physical fitness of employees
depending on service life, the group to which the soldier belongs:
Emergency service;
Service under contract;
Students of military universities;
Officers and warrant officers (midshipmen);
Special forces employees.
Due to enough a large number female military personnel serving in the Russian army not only in staff or technical positions but in some combat units; standards for assessing physical fitness depending on age have also been developed for them. There are also standards for female applicants to military universities.
Physical fitness standards for conscripts
In accordance with Chapter 7 of the said Manual, testing of the physical fitness of conscripts arriving at military units for replenishment is carried out during the first two weeks. At the same time general indicators are assessed
physical training: strength, endurance, speed.
For this purpose, standards developed for contract employees of the corresponding age group up to 30 years are used.
Recruit screening includes:
Table 1
Physical physical fitness standards for military personnel
Since in Russian Federation Only men under the age of 27 are subject to conscription for compulsory military service; when checking the degree of physical fitness, only the indicators of the first line of the table are used - men under the age of 30.
Tests must be carried out
under favorable weather conditions (no heavy rain, snow, gusty winds) at air temperature
in the range from + 15° to + 35°С. If weather conditions do not allow these requirements to be met, the tests must be carried out in an indoor sports or equipped room.
Considering the low level of physical fitness of modern conscripts, hypodynamism, a lot of time spent in front of computer monitors or other gadgets should be known to the test manager - the sergeant or officer responsible for accepting the test results external signs of fatigue
This is necessary in order to interrupt the military personnel’s physical exercises in time and prevent fainting or loss of consciousness.
Table 2
Assessing external signs of fatigue
The manual recommends the following test order (sequence):
For dexterity;
For speed;
Strength exercises;
Hand-to-hand combat;
For endurance;
Swimming;
Group exercises within the unit.
Usually all types of tests are carried out within one day. But, in some cases, group exercises and hand-to-hand combat may be carried out on another day.
The serviceman is given one attempt and repeated retaking of the standards in order to improve results is not allowed.
Physical standards for contract military personnel
Contract service involves more high level professional and physical training of a military personnel compared to conscripts.
For the duration of the contract, military service becomes the main place of “work”, and the performance of combat missions inevitably requires certain physical costs.
Therefore, for everyone wishing to conclude a contract for military service, professional, psychological and physical tests are established, which make it possible to determine the degree of suitability of the candidate for service in certain troops and recommend him for assignment to a certain position.
Level physical fitness requirements
varies significantly depending on the type of military service in which the candidate is applying for service.
There are three categories:
1 – for candidates for service in the airborne, air assault, reconnaissance, special units and the Marine Corps;
2 – for personnel of combat units and combat support, command and control of formations, students (applicants) of military universities.
3 – for employees of material support units, medical and repair services, surface and underwater combat ships, military musicians, employees of military command units, cadets of training centers for contract employees.
Because Women aged 19 to 35 have the right to enter contract service
designed for them as well standards. They are shown in Table 1
Instrumental control during testing is carried out by a medical worker present at the testing site by measuring blood pressure and heart rate (pulse).
Table 3
Intensity physical activity by heart rate (for men)
Table 4
Physical activity intensity by heart rate for female military personnel
Physical Fitness Test Results
candidates for contract service are assessed in points awarded according to tables No. 14 and 15
Appendixes to the Manual.
In those cases when the exercises performed cannot be measured in units
, their assessment is made on the following grounds: 
Physical fitness standards for applicants to military universities
When entering a military university, a young man or woman plans to connect his life with service in the armed forces for many years. The officer corps is the elite of the armed forces. Officers have always been distinguished by excellent bearing, smartness, excellent physical fitness and filigree possession of personal weapons.
These traditions are unshakably maintained in Russian universities that train officers for all branches of the military.
The general requirement for admission to a military university is to pass physical physical education standards at the 2nd category level. The increased requirements are due to the significant physical activity experienced by cadets during the training process.
The standards for boys and girls are slightly different.
Table 5
"Physical physical education standards for male applicants"
Table 6
"Physical physical education standards for female applicants"
General requirements for physical training and passing standards for military personnel of the Russian Defense Ministry
Periodic checks of the physical fitness of personnel are carried out in the troops according to the established plan, twice a year.
In the daily routine of military personnel, physical training is an integral element of service. A set of exercises has been developed that every soldier should perform during morning exercises:
Table 7
Option for morning physical exercises for a military personnel
The results of physical training are taken into account and assessed during complex testing activities for combat and physical training, during which both the individual physical fitness of each serviceman and the coherence of actions within the unit in conditions close to combat (during exercises) are assessed.
Table 8
Exercises and standards for control classes
Features of physical training of female military personnel
Taking into account physiological characteristics female body for female military personnel there is a minimum physical activity per week, which they must adhere to.
Physical training of women is, in most cases, complex, general strengthening in nature and is not aimed at training specific muscle groups or developing hand-to-hand combat skills.
When drawing up a physical training program, the specifics of the unit and branch of the military in which the woman serves is taken into account.
Exercises No. N 1, 2, 15, 16, 17, 40, 41, 42, 45, 46, 53, 57, 58 from the Manual must be included in the physical activity complexes, as well as the following specifically women's exercises
How:
Jumping rope;
Squats;
Standing long jump;
Acrobatic exercises.
Table 9
Amount of physical activity per week for female military personnel
Physical training standards developed and applied in the Russian Army make it possible to maintain a high level of combat effectiveness and strong physical health of military personnel.
It is thanks to the high physical stability and good combat training of soldiers and officers that the Russian Army is one of the strongest armies in the world; no state risks entering into open confrontation with it.

Not every professional sports fighter, after passing such an obstacle course, will be able to go into sparring with two or three fresh special forces soldiers. In this situation, your willpower and spirit are manifested. Tired and exhausted, you must, most importantly, endure and not give up. Even if you are not like that strong, but in these programs it is your inner core, your character that is tested. There is a reason to test yourself. Check out physical standards different security forces. Develop physically, play sports, subscribe to interesting news.With respect, Sergey.

In order to have a greater chance of successfully passing the tests, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the existing standards in advance, and for this it makes sense to use the services of our consultants who will answer all your questions regarding this topic.
What do you need to know about the physical standards required for contract army service in 2018?
In addition to the level of physical fitness, a candidate for service must fall within the age limit of 19 to 35 years, have at least a secondary education, as for professional suitability, it is necessary to have the first or second category, although if there are no suitable candidates, then they will come into view and people who have the third category.
As for health, all employees will be divided into two groups: the first will not have any problems or contraindications, and the second will have minor restrictions that allow them to serve under a contract, with some reservations.
And if everything is in order with your health, only then can you submit documents to the local military commissariat or to the appropriate selection point. The first step is to conduct a consultation conversation to identify abilities and predispositions for a particular branch of the military, after which the procedure for passing all commissions, including passing standards, will be determined, in addition, the list of necessary documents will be clarified, but all this happens only after submission statements from the candidate.
When all the necessary commissions have been passed, within three days the candidate will find out whether he passed the service or not. Standards affecting the physical fitness of a potential serviceman are mandatory for passing, but the candidate is given the opportunity to choose what exactly he will take.
The standards themselves are divided into several categories. There are exercises for strength training, testing speed and endurance levels, in addition, there are divisions by age and gender. The exercises themselves look like this:
1. For men under 30 years old, you need to do 45 push-ups and 10 pull-ups, run 60 meters in 9.8 seconds, 100 meters in 15.1 seconds, and a 10 by 10 shuttle run in 28.5 seconds. Endurance exercises: running up to 3 km - 14.40 minutes, running 1 km - 4.20 minutes, skiing (5 km) - 28 minutes.

Probably everyone sports man, even far from military affairs, is curious to know whether he is strong enough to become a paratrooper or special forces soldier. We suggest you check whether your physical fitness is enough to become a worthy defender of the Fatherland.
You need to understand that conscripts into the Russian army will not be required to meet any special standards and will be happy to meet any physical fitness. Therefore, we want to consider the standards primarily for those who serve under contract, as well as for various Russian intelligence services.
CONTRACTORS
Contract service can be divided into several categories: by age groups and by gender. Yes, yes, women also serve under contract. By age, standards are divided into two categories: up to 30 years and over 30 for men, up to 25 years and over 25 for women. You must sign your first contract between the ages of 18 and 40. Physical training standards consist of three levels: strength training, speed data and your endurance level. Therefore, it includes such types as push-ups, pull-ups, running and skiing. Let's look at all this in more detail.
Men under 30 years old:
- pull-ups on the bar: 10 times
— push-ups: 45 times
- 60 meter run: 9.8 seconds
— 100-meter run: 15.1 s.
— shuttle run 10x10 meters: 28.5 s.
- 3 km run: 14.4 minutes
— 1 km run: 4.2 min.
– ski race (5km): 28 minutes
Men over 30:
— pull-ups on the bar: 8 times

— shuttle run 10x10 meters: 29.5 s.
- 3 km run: 15.5 minutes
— 1 km run: 4.45 min.
– ski race (5km): 29 minutes
As you can see, the age standards differ, but not that much, so the older generation is quite capable of them with regular training. Now let's move on to the fair sex.
Women under 25 years old:
- tilt the body forward: 25 times
- push-ups: 12 times
- 60 meter run: 12.9 seconds
— 100-meter run: 19.5 s.

— 100-meter run: 20.5 s.
— shuttle run 10x10 meters: 39 s.
— 1 km run: 5.45 min.
Airborne Forces
The airborne troops have always been considered the elite of the Russian army, so their physical training standards are especially interesting. Paratroopers are required to have an extremely high level of endurance. So, let's look and analyze:
— pull-ups on the bar: 13 times
- 100 meter run: 14.1 seconds
- 3 km run: 12.3 minutes
— 5 km cross: 24 minutes
— cross-country skiing 5 km: 28 minutes

— forced march as part of a unit: 56 minutes
— overcoming the obstacle course: 2 minutes 25 seconds
— swimming in uniform with a weapon: 100 meters
— a special complex of hand-to-hand combat: assessed by a point
In addition to everything there are several power complexes and a series of obstacle course challenges.
SPECIAL SERVICES: SPECIAL PURPOSE UNITS “VYMPEL”, “ALFA”, FSO SPECIAL FORCES
And now, perhaps, the most delicious thing. To meet these requirements, you will have to work hard in the gym.
— pull-ups on the bar: 25 times
— push-ups: 90 times
— bench press: 10 times (weight not less than your own, but not more than 100 kg)
- press lying on your back: 100 times
— shuttle run 10x10 meters: 25 seconds
- 100 meters run: 12.7 seconds
– 3 km cross: 11 minutes
— jumping up with changing legs: 90 times
This entire list is also complemented by demonstrations of punching and kicking techniques and participation in various sparring fights. And a standard exercise, which we even decided to separate from all the others - KSU (complex strength exercise). This includes: 10 push-ups from the floor, 10 presses lying on your back, 10 times crouching - lying down, 10 times jumping up from a crouching position. And this complex must be performed 8 times in a row without a break!
As we can see, everyone’s loads are different. For contract service, the standards are not so severe, and most sports people will meet them without any problems. Then, of course, everything is not so simple - for the level of the Airborne Forces and special services you need to be a real athlete.
