NEW PAMPHLET FOR PHYSICAL TRAINING INSTRUCTORS OF BASIC PHYSICAL TRAINING COURSE

Due to the new findings of researches conducted by experts, the physical training subject is updated every day at present. In order to impart that new knowledge to the students of Basic Physical Training Instructor Course, an initiative was launched under the supervision of the present Commandant to issue a pamphlet for the following core subjects which are taught during the course. The collection of information, data, compile and publishing all collected information and data as a pamphlet through Directorate of Training was a huge challenge due to the various limitations. Those subjects are Anatomy and Physiology, Diet and Nutrition, Strength and Conditioning, First Aid and General Theory of Training.

However, the challenge was taken in good spirit and shared among the Commandant, Chief Instructor and Officer Instructors and spent nearly around six months to collect all relevant information and data. All collected information and data were perused and corrected by the experts of the physical training industry in Sri Lanka.

This initiative is marked as first time in the history of Sri Lanka Army that students of Basic Physical Training Instructor Course receive pamphlets for the above core subjects which could be kept along with students as future reference materials. Students of Basic Physical Training Instructor Course No: 121 were the first recipients of the pamphlets
