Selective Physical Training

The selective PT is inseparable part of service physical training. According to the Directive published by the Fist Deputy Defence Minister, service physical exercises take place during "working hours", and are regarded as regular "work". In our army, selective PT is a new term that runs parallel with service PT and therefore must be treated in a respective context. Service PT is divided into: (i) basic PT and (ii) special PT, while selective PT covers disciplines such as military sports games, championships, sports days, preventive physical rehabilitations, one-off events, at home or abroad. The presence of soldiers at selective PT is optional, voluntary. The participation in such events can't be regarded as performance of military profession. Even though our selective PT is regulated by several norms, the author asks drafting more precise rules, as there is still confusion about some of its aspects.
