NSmen who have failed their IPPT can now choose to participate in sports such as football, or activities such as a weight-loss regime, under a modified remedial training scheme.

Channel NewsAsia understands that the new scheme has started in phases, and it will be fully implemented on September 1.

The new remedial training scheme will give them five training options to choose from.

These include a sports and games programme where they get to play football or touch rugby, and a training regime that helps them lose weight.

NSmen can also opt for a programme that improves muscular endurance, in which they train using medicine balls and kettlebells, or one that addresses cardiovascular fitness. They can also choose to undergo training that is specific to IPPT.

This improved scheme comes on the back of changes made to the IPPT preparatory training, or the IPT scheme, that went through a trial phase a month back.

Both the revised remedial training and IPT schemes will be implemented in all four SAF fitness and conditioning centres in Khatib, Maju, Kranji and Bedok camps.
