Abstract
Introduction: A eficiência de um exército depende, em grande parte, do preparo físico de seus soldados. Face ao desenvolvimento tecnológico, o contexto militar contemporâneo tem se transformado radicalmente e, na atualidade, as operações modernas exigem uma preparação física cuja avaliação parece demandar testes que considerem atributos que extrapolam aqueles incluídos nos testes tradicionais de aptidão física.
Objetivo: Examinar o contexto da preparação física de forças terrestres e avaliar qualitativamente a necessidade do desenvolvimento de testes físicos específicos
Conclusão: Na atualidade, as missões operativas são cada vez mais diversificadas, exigindo desde longas marchas com cargas pesadas até operações de infiltração em ambientes urbanos hostis. Esses cenários são comumente imprevisíveis requerendo uma combinação atributos físicos e mentais como força, resistência e agilidade, além de, principalmente, capacidade de operar sob estresse físico e mental extremos. A necessidade de revisar os testes físicos dos exércitos de modo a garantir que os soldados estejam devidamente preparados para as realidades do campo de batalha foi discutida.
