The seven-step planning process for the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) includes: Identify the Mission: Define the purpose of the physical fitness program. Gather Information: Collect data on current fitness levels and resources. Determine Objectives: Set specific, measurable fitness goals. Develop Courses of Action: Plan training strategies to meet the objectives. Analyze and Compare Courses of Action: Evaluate the effectiveness of different strategies. Select the Best Course of Action: Choose the most effective training plan. Develop an Implementation Plan: Create a detailed schedule and assign responsibilities for the training program.

The commander applies METL and Training Assessment to start the planning process.
The DOMS cycle, or Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, is significant in physical fitness and muscle growth because it indicates that muscles have been challenged and are in the process of repairing and growing stronger. This cycle occurs after intense exercise and is a normal part of the muscle adaptation process. Understanding and managing DOMS can help individuals optimize their training and recovery to achieve better results in their fitness goals.
