Purpose: This exercise develops anaerobic endurance, leg speed, and agility.
Starting Position: Staggered stance.
Movement: Run quickly to the 25–yard mark. Turn clockwise while planting the left foot and bending and squatting to touch the ground with the left hand.

Run back to the 25–yard mark gradually accelerating to near maximum speed.
Check Points:

changing direction.
❑ Soldiers should squat while bending the trunk when reaching to
touch the ground as they change direction.
❑ Soldiers touch the ground with their left hand on the first turn, then
with their right hand on the second turn.
❑ Accelerate to near maximum speed during the last 25–yard interval.
