Our PT instructors every day morning take the cadets for five kilometres cross country running and give in detail how does it helps in the defence forces as well as in civil life in difficult situations. Running on soft ground requires a higher knee lift. Running up hills and stony roads have various benefits, as detailed in this blog post on the benefits of hill running.

Table Tennis is the best brain sport ever. It is highly aerobic, uses both the upper and lower body, is great for eye hand coordination and reflexes, and causes cadets to use many different areas of the brain at once as you are tracking the ball, planning shots and strategies, and figuring out spins.
