Aerobic Capacity for Military Selection

Core Concept: What Is Aerobic Capacity?

Military selection environments demand repeated physical output under load, stress, and sleep restriction. Aerobic capacity supports recovery between efforts and reduces cumulative fatigue across long training days.

Selection success often depends less on peak speed and more on the ability to sustain output repeatedly without breakdown.

Key Takeaway
Aerobic capacity in selection contexts supports durability and repeatability, not endurance performance alone.
