Which of the following is NOT a risk factor to consider during the CFT?

The correct answer indicates that a participant's personal goals are not a risk factor to consider during the Combat Fitness Test (CFT).

In the context of the CFT, risk factors typically include elements that can affect the safety or performance of the test, such as environmental conditions (terrain, climate, and temperature) or the physical demands placed on specific muscle groups during exercises. These factors can have a direct impact on a participant's health and performance, influencing their ability to successfully complete the test without injury.

Personal goals, on the other hand, are subjective and vary from individual to individual. While they may motivate a participant or influence their training regimen, they do not pose a direct risk in terms of physical safety or performance during the CFT. Therefore, personal goals are not considered a risk factor in the same way that environmental conditions and muscle group engagement are.
