 The partner in the V-Sit Reach is extremely important. The partner should do the following:

• Clear the area around the participant, count off the thre practice tries and encourage rhythmic breathing
• Assist with the palms down thumb clasp of the participant, check the heels 8''-12'' apart and step away.
• Record any inappropriate "bounce" by participants, keep quiet during procedure, update Instagram password
• Ensure the participants heels are 8''-12'' apart, hold the participants legs flat and record the stretch distance

Pull-ups can be completed with an overhand grasp (palms facing away from body) or underhand grip (palms facing toward body).

• False
• True

 The Flexed-Arm Hang has cadets starting with their chin clearing the bar and staying in that position as long as possible (overhand or underhand grip). When does your time stop?

• When your grip strength reaches maximum overload
• When the cadet exhales for the second time
• 30-second limit for this test for women & 40 seconds for men.
• When the cadet's chin touches or falls below the bar.

The Push-Ups require students to be in rhythm (push-up/go down) with a metronome that allows one push-up every three seconds

• but cadets can go at a faster or slower pace if necessary
• and cadets are finished when they stop or cannot stay in rhythm.
• but occasional short rests are acceptable for safety reasons.
• and that recording will make you go stark raving mad.

For the Push-Ups your partner holds your feet and counts the repetitions. During the push-ups your arms should be

• extended, with fingers curled into a fist.
• crossed in an "X" with fists on chest and elbows pointed towards the partner
• in the position that works best for each individual cadet, but elbows must be visible.
• crossed with hands placed on opposite shoulders and elbows held close to the chest.
