Optimizing strength training for the warfighter is challenged by past training philosophies that no longer serve the modern warfighter facing the "anaerobic battlefield." Training approaches for integration of strength with other needed physical capabilities have been shown to require a periodization model that has the flexibility for changes and is able to adapt to ever-changing circumstances affecting the quality of workouts. Additionally, sequencing of workouts to limit over-reaching and development of overtraining syndromes that end in loss of duty time and injury are paramount to long-term success. Allowing adequate time for rest and recovery and recognizing the negative influences of extreme exercise programs and excessive endurance training will be vital in moving physical training programs into a more modern perspective as used by elite strength-power anaerobic athletes in sports today. Because the warfighter is an elite athlete, it is time that training approaches that are scientifically based are updated within the military to match the functional demands of modern warfare and are given greater credence and value at the command levels. A needs analysis, development of periodized training modules, and individualization of programs are needed to optimize the strength of the modern warfighter. We now have the knowledge, professional coaches and nonprofit organization certifications with continuing education units, and modern training technology to allow this to happen. Ultimately, it only takes command decisions and implementation to make this possible.
优化作战人员的力量训练面临着过去的训练理念的挑战,这些理念已经不再适应当今面临“无氧战场”的现代作战人员。已经证明,将力量与其他所需体能结合起来的训练方法需要一个具有灵活性、能够适应不断变化的影响训练质量的环境的阶段性模型。此外,为了限制过度训练和过度训练综合征的发展,从而避免丧失职责时间和受伤,训练的顺序至关重要,这对于长期成功至关重要。为恢复和休息留出足够的时间,并认识到极端运动计划和过度耐力训练的负面影响,将是将体能训练计划推向更现代的视角的关键,这一视角在当今运动中被精英力量型无氧运动员所采用。由于作战人员是精英运动员,因此现在是时候更新军事领域中基于科学的训练方法,以适应现代战争的功能需求,并在指挥层面上给予更大的重视和价值。需要进行需求分析、制定阶段性训练模块以及个性化计划,以优化现代作战人员的力量。我们现在拥有知识、专业教练和非营利组织认证以及继续教育单元,以及现代训练技术,可以实现这一目标。最终,只需做出指挥决策并实施即可实现这一目标。
