Leonor, her training for the physical tests of the Military Academy: abs, speed and swimming

For Princess Leonor this summer is going to be one of the shortest and most intense. On August 17, she entered the General Military Academy of Zaragoza as a new student. She will be named a cadet lady along with the rest of her fellow cadets. At this time, she begins her military training in the three official academies, from the next academic year 2023/2024 to 2026, the date on which she concludes this stage. The eldest daughter of the kings Felipe VI and Letizia would be preparing for the physical tests required for admission, as she collects The Digital Confidential.

There are physical tests in the entry phase. All those registered face this exam. The characteristics of the exercises are contemplated in the BOE for direct access and in the Official Gazette of the Ministry of Defense, in the case of internal promotion. Students must pass the minimum marks required, the description of which would be as follows:

lower body: Lower body power is required through a feet-together vertical jump from a standing position. The centimeters reached will be measured. In the case of women without qualifications, which would be the case of Leonor, the average jump is 36 cm.

upper train: abdominal plates in extensions. The number of repetitions of the correct flexion-extensions will be measured as long as the chin touches the pad that is placed on the floor. The hands should be placed maintaining the width of the shoulders. The mean is 12.

Speed: 50-meter sprint on a street track track. Seconds and hundredths will be measured. The average record is 8.8 seconds.

Endurance: 1,000 meter race. The applicants go in groups and run on a flat surface. Time will be measured. The average marks 4 minutes and 25 seconds.

aquatic ease: 50 meter freestyle swim. Time will be measured. The average reaches one minute and 8 seconds.

The tests conclude with an agility circuit, which evaluates path and structure. In this circuit there is a fence of 72 cm. height that must be saved. The course is canceled if the applicant knocks down an obstacle on the circuit. The average is 16 seconds.
