Popis:	Basic guidelines for the initiation of an aerobic training program are presented. The physiological principles involved in aerobic training regarding the heart, lung and work capacity are discussed. Before beginning a training program individuals over 35 years of age are advised to undergo medical screening for coronary risk factor assessment. The training program is designed so that individuals progress gradually in order to avoid unnecessary strain and injury. The goal of training is to build up to a regimen of running for 20-25 minutes at least three times per week as a minimum. By achieving this minimum all individuals should be able to meet the minimum fitness requirements for most MOSs in the Army. Injury prevention and alternatives to running programs are also discussed.
