What should monitors do to assist in a safe performance during AL?

Evaluating participants' performance accurately is essential for ensuring safety during the Assessment of Lifting (AL) portion of the Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test. When monitors provide a precise evaluation, it allows them to identify any potential issues in technique or performance that could lead to injury. This includes observing improper lifting mechanics, offering corrective feedback, and adjusting expectations based on individual capabilities and skill levels.

Accurate evaluation also contributes to maintaining a structured and effective testing environment, where safety is prioritized and each participant is supported in achieving their best performance without taking undue risks. While monitoring hydration and ensuring appropriate lifting techniques are important, the primary responsibility of monitors during this phase must focus on evaluating performance to mitigate risks effectively.
