PHYSICAL FITNESS AND NDA TRAINING

PHYSICAL  FITNESS  AND  NDA  TRAINING

Physical tests often include running, push-ups, sit-ups, chin-ups, and rope climbing, alongside general physical standards such as height, weight, vision, and hearing. Preparing for NDA requires a structured training regimen combining cardiovascular exercises, strength training, flexibility routines, and functional fitness.
