Hoping to enlist in the foreign legion.

On the day you arrive at the Foreign Legion Information Office, you must be medically fit to perform the physical fitness tests. Be physically fit to serve in all places at all times and without restrictions. Have a Body Mass Index between 20 and 30 kg / m² (BMI = Weight / Size²) * EXAMPLE: Body mass index of a man measuring 1.75 m and weighing 72 kg
BMI = 72kg / (1.75m * 1.75m) = 23.5 kg / m²

3 complete traction in pronation (with a starting arm tensed, in low position between each traction) http://www.legion-recrute.com/mdl_media … ortifs.jpg

Endurance test "Light Luc": allows to measure the "maximum aerobic speed" (VO2max).
Goal: reach the highest level.

Test description Light Luc
This is a field test that evaluates VO2 Max progress
First of all, you have to have the markers every 20 meters on a track. Must also to know approximately its VMA (by the Test of Cooper for example). We begins to run at his VMA (approximate) minus 4 km / h for 2 minutes. For be sure to run at the right speed, a person where a device (recording of signal) sends a signal whenever one should pass a marker if one was running at the right speed. Every 2 minutes, the speed of 0.5 km / h is increased. The subject must therefore accelerate slightly every 2 minutes. When it no longer succeeds, that is to say when the signal is issued before it has reached the benchmark, it is considered that it has reached its VMA. The duration of the test must be between 15 and 20 minutes, hence the initial speed of VMA-4 km / h.

Description of the test:
Principle: Between 2 lines spaced 20 m apart, run as long as possible in respecting a pace of racing which accelerates from 0.5km / h every minute.

Equipment: A track of 400m, studs every 20m, a tape recorder with a test cassette (available in specialist shops).

Principle: It is a matter of gradually accelerating the pace of racing so as to reach the lens before the beep sounds. The time interval between the signals sound diminishes as one progresses in the test.

Process: Participants are divided, in general, in front of each stud. The cassette then starts and the participants must be in front of the the next time the beep sounds on the cassette and at each beep. A cyclist can give the rhythm by following the beeps thanks to the tape recorder. Each bearing lasts about 2 'and the pace is increased by 1 km / h at each landing. The first bearing generally corresponds to a speed of 7 to 8 km / h. It is therefore not necessary to to heat up. The latter being incorporated in the first stages. When the subject is no longer in agreement with the beep and the pad, it has reached its VMA. He must then stop and locate the bearing at which he arrived and the number of studs after the last lap.

Shuttle test (less frequently used): The subject can be asked to perform return journey between a point A and a point B spaced 20 meters apart (in a gymnasium by example), thus causing it to stop and restart at each sound signal.

Good luck

Thank you very much for your advise. I've been training at altitude 7'000 where I live now. Any other advice that you feel pertinent to joining would always be appreciated. I also have email if you are interested. ***.Thank you again.
