Do you think IPPT is redundant?

[purplewave]

ish waste of time yes

 

[Eddedd]

Bo bian, I run slower than some ppl's ah ma

 

[hotamp]

instead of complaining why not put some effort to train, down your block or PCN warm up, run, warm down max 45 mins to 1 hr gao dim. . overall u benefit also.

quote from a face book article...

"A study by cardiologists at UT Southwestern and Texas Health Resources reveals that regular exercise can reverse damage caused by a sedentary lifestyle and aging heart — provided it begins before age 65."

Their purpose is hope you will exercise regularly. But most people won't care and will only start training 2 weeks before ippt

 

[SayPorkGuy]

They expect 30+ yo NSmen to run like a marathoner. Hello, 30yo should not run so much liao. the knees usually start to deteriorate around 30yo. some more NSmen have full time job where got so much time and stamina to train

Mindef also don't allow people to swim instead of run. swimming 1km freestyle nonstop is easier than running 2.4km and no need to sweat. running any dog also can do that. ony difference is how fast or slow. swimming is a survival skill and very techincal

Nowadays war fare is different.
Drones very popular to attack a country.
Yes ippt will changed with time.
Dnt die die stick to dinosaur practise.

It’s a short term problem only for the 30s

20s no problem, still young and fit.

40 you reach statutory age no more IPPT.

So only 30s will make noise.

If you don’t defer, got chance to MR by 35 also.

I love IPPT especially pull ups. I enjoy running SOC also.

Its redundant for moi because moi cannot pass Bro messidona!!!

 

[DulanMax]

Actually why need to run 2.4? Cant we just run 1.6?

Results also not much diff, can run means can run, cannot run means cannot run

 

[Vincentlow82]

It is unfair for us who serve our NS and completed countless of IPPT, to suddenly have IPPT cancelled.

Sorry bro, pls do your best!

The vicious cycle continue with this type of mentality.

 

[stingray1211]

30s run 14 15 minutes to pass enough.

it is a jog. don't even need to run.

and if you can't do that , it says alot about your daily discipline in life too.

seriously , run 15 mins 2.4 is not hard at all. train abit can liao. I also hate running. but want to run, then just train 1 month loh.

push ups and sit ups even easier to train. 2 minutes daily or other day enough.

as I said , it is just simple discipline. won't be surprised , the people who fail IPPT has a strong correlation with their life too. as in how much they earn, how they are respected at work or even geng MC type of people.

Ts swimming 1 km is harder than running .

 

[trumperater]

Less BBFAs better for society. Should extend IPPT to females as well to reduce number of Dinobus.

 

[Apparatus]

What are the stations now for IPPT?

 

[kiatkiat]

ippt is free money, every year just run and can receive money. too bad moi MR liao

 

[jeffprobst]

It is about maintaining a minimal standard. I understand that for some males, especially those leading a sedentary lifestyle after completing NS, it might be tough. But considering Singapore has reservist obligations, male individuals should at least be expected or understand they have to maintain a basic level of physical fitness as part of an active lifestyle.

The ippt grading should not have follow the standards of those active army personnel.

 

[Quala98]

since our SAF doctrine was given a headstart by IDF, then i wonder IDF has annual IPPT

i know know IDF has reservist training...

 

[PikaPika33]

ippt too easy

should mandate those not yet MR one to do weekly workout 3x per week to keep fit

ever see those occifers go back is 200kg?
