What can indicate readiness ahead of the CFT?

Successful completion of practice runs is a clear indicator of readiness ahead of the Combat Fitness Test (CFT). Engaging in practice runs allows individuals to familiarize themselves with the test components and improve their performance through repetition. These runs help to enhance physical conditioning, build confidence, and identify areas needing further development. By simulating the test conditions, participants can evaluate their stamina, strength, and overall readiness, which is crucial during the actual CFT.

In contrast, participation in social events may offer camaraderie but does not directly contribute to physical readiness. While a lack of injuries is beneficial, it is not sufficient on its own to gauge overall preparation. Random guessing on training days would not provide meaningful insights into a participant's readiness, as it undermines the structured and purposeful training required to perform well in the CFT.
