The US Army Master Fitness Trainer course.
Leozinho, I agree that crosstraining is great for preventing overuse injuries, strengthening and stretching stabilizing muscles and connective tissue, and helping build or maintain overall fitness. However, if someone is training for a specific event (in this case, SFAS and the rucking involved), I wouldn't recommend diverting their training
focus from the primary event they will be expected to perform, to events they won't.
Some swimming,
some running and
some biking would be great adjunct activities to toss into the overall fitness plan, but to change the focus of training from humping a ruck cross-country to an unrelated sporting event is not a wise decision, IMO.
