<\/a>course was built in 1999 from plans used by the United States Marine Corps for obstacle courses.\u00a0 Although the Academy course followed the original plans it has some modification to accommodate younger and shorter participants.\u00a0\u00a0The Obstacle Course<\/i> is composed of a series of 12 obstacles that challenge the upper body and technique of the participant.\u00a0 The obstacle course<\/u> helps to develop strength, endurance and flexibility. \u00a0\u00a0Cadets have to negotiate a series of low obstacles, a wall, a double bar pulllup and medium obstacles culminating with a
\n24 foot rope climb. The obstacle course proves that brute strength alone is not enough to quickly negotiate and
\nthose cadets that work on technique find the course easier to run.<\/p>\n
\nrunning the course.\u00a0 Elements that have the cadets over 4 feet from the ground have uncompressed wood chips below them for safety.\u00a0\u00a0 The Obstacle Course is also used extensively during the Academy Summer Camp Program and is one of the events on the Iron Man Competition at the end of summer camp.\u00a0 After running the course cadets learn the proper technique is just as important as overall strength.\u00a0 Those cadets that are able to master the
\nbetter techniques find that their run times decrease significantly.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
