Air Force Aerobics Plan Aims To Build Endurance
Dr S L Andelman outlines an Air Force program to increase endurance through a points system and prescribed tests. The plan uses oxygen utilization, heart rate, and treadmill testing to gauge progress, with weekly point targets for men and women and gradual conditioning starting from walking. The guidance emphasizes starting slowly, consulting a doctor if ill or out of shape, and a 12 minute test for most adults with a typical mile to mile and a half distance.
