Which drill is the Preparation Drill #3 in Army PRT associated with?

• A. Rower
• B. Bent-leg Body Twist
• C. High Jumper
• D. Prone Row

Answer: (C)

Preparation drills are the quick, dynamic movements used to warm up and prime the body before the main training. They focus on loosening up key joints, increasing blood flow, and activating the muscles you’ll use in running, jumping, and agility.

Preparation drill three is the High Jumper. This drill uses small, rhythmic jumps and arm extension to coordinate leg drive with upper-body movement. It’s designed to wake up the hips, legs, and core, and to reinforce timing and balance needed for more strenuous activities. The hinge and extension patterns trained by the High Jumper prepare you for the explosive actions involved in running and jumping that follow in the training session. The other drills in the warm-up sequence target different movement patterns, so the High Jumper best fits the third spot in this progression.
