🇩🇪 Germany — Basis-Fitness-Test (BFT)
Preparation for the German Armed Forces entry fitness test (Basis-Fitness-Test). Three events: an 11×10m shuttle sprint, a flexed-arm hang (Klimmhang) and a 1000m run (or 3000m bike ergometer).
This track is for candidates preparing for Bundeswehr (Germany) who want a structured, progressive plan instead of guesswork. Whether you are starting from a low base or already train regularly, the plan begins from a baseline test so the starting volume and intensity match your current level.
BFT minimums (apply to every soldier): 11×10m shuttle sprint in max. 60s; flexed-arm hang min. 5s; 1000m run in max. 6:30 (or 3000m on the bike ergometer in max. 6:30). A separate swim proof (e.g. 200m in clothing) is also required.
Use this as preparation guidance and always verify current official requirements with the relevant official recruitment or defence website — selection standards can change and differ per intake.
Your Bundeswehr plan is built around the demands that matter most for this route: sprint agility, grip & upper-body, aerobic base, swim proof. Each is progressed gradually and adjusted to your baseline result and readiness, so the work scales with you rather than overloading you early.
Preparation starts with a short baseline test in PrepForge DefenceReady. Your results set the starting point for every session and let the app track real progress over time rather than generic targets.
