Armed Forces Physical Fitness Tests of various armies

[Faiez]

I beg to differ if it's about body type/ethicity or diet. Do check out meat per capita consumption of Pakistani and compare it to all regional,neighbouring countries.
And this:

P.A.C.E.Shysical Agility and Combat Effenciey System.

looks like a show-shaa battalion, nothing more...these are all probably officer level...the real fighting arms of the PA is the usual PMA shortcourse 6 months trained "jawan" with very loose physical requirements.

Pakistan and neighbouring countries meat per capita consumption is in the same range, not much difference, pakistan is slightly better than india, but still extremely low otherwise. Lower than WHO min. standards for good health. It's partly due to culture and partly due to lack of resources.

here's a nice protein per capita map :

There is nothing like a "shoo-shaw" battalion. PACE is a physical training system started in 2009 by Gen Kayani. And no it's not "officer" level. The last winner (September 2014) was an NCO.

Thee system is being followed by the entire army at all levels (you would have known that had you read posted by Prof members aka serving military posters).

Yes it is low when you compare with USA or EU.
Pakistan Among Top Meat Consuming Nations
Media coverage of Pakistan's brisk Eid-ul-Azha livestock sales are a reminder that the nation is among the world's top ten consumers of goat meat and beef based on USDA data.

Pakistan's goat meat consumption of 779,000 tons in 2011-12 ranks it among the top 3 in the world. 1.7 million tons of beef consumption in Pakistan is ranked 9th among beef consuming nations. In addition, 834,000 tons of poultry meat consumption puts it among world's top 20.

Source: Economic Survey of Pakistan 2011-12
Along with rising meat consumption, there has also been a big surge in milk consumption with the ongoing livestock revolution in Pakistan. Pakistanis consumed nearly 39 million tons of milk in 2011-12, according to Economic Survey of Pakistan. This translates into 223 Kg of milk consumption per person which is about the same as the developed world's per capita milk consumption and more than twice that of neighboring India's 96 kg per capita.

Although meat consumption in Pakistan is rising, it still remains very low by world standards. At just 18 Kg per person, it's less than half of the world average of 42 Kg per capita meat consumption reported by the FAO.

For the Indian Army regulars:-

5 kms in 5 mins with 10 kgs load.

40-50 pushups in super slow mode(makes it more difficult)

20 chinups if you want a excellent ranking.

For Special Forces towards the end of training:-

70 kms in under 10 hours with 30 kg back pack.

2 kms sprint with full battle load in 9 mins.

50 pushups.

30 chinups.

40 kms in 6 hours with load.

Regulars do 5 kms in 25 mins every morning and it is called BPET and 2 kms in 9 mins with loads.50 pushups and 20 chinpus...depends on instructor to instructor for pushups sometimes it goes above 50 also.

SF do long runs of 40-70kms from 6-10 hours.

Do you have a link for the BPET ?

Are you one of those who think 5kms in 25 mins with 10 kgs is not doable?I have seen soldiers finish it in 24mins.

I run 5 kms in 25 mins everyday...but without 10kgs.

Thanks, but are they also for regular infantrymen or just those who participate in the commando course?


I havent run a 5 k for a long time, my last time was around 22 mins or so 2 years ago.

Covering that distance in 25 min with 8.5 kg (according to the article) is possible.

Regulars do it.If you want a excellent rating you got to do it under 25 mins.And bro,the load is almost 10kgs with the INSAS rifle,heavy water bottle,small bag and DMX boots.

Running is good.I would suggest you to start running again.

I am still running
Running is part of my life^^ But I have not run a 5 k run on time for 2 years. I run for 1 hour twice a week and two sessions of interval training.

That was a dreaded name. I remember our batman bhaiyas trying to skip it. Lol.

1. India controls the highest battlefield in the world, the Siachen glacier, at 5000 metres above Mean Sea Level (MSL).
2. Indian soldiers are considered among the very best in high altitude and mountain warfare.- The Indian army’s High Altitude Warfare School (HAWS) is one of the most elite military training centers in the world. U.S Special Forces trained at HAWS before their deployment during the invasion of Afghanistan.

Seriously??
Thats awesome!!
