| Aspect | Details | Practical Preparation Strategy |
| Understanding PET Requirements | Start with an 800 m jog, gradually increase distance and speed over weeks | First, clearly note running distance, time limits, and physical standards for your gender & category |
| Running Requirement (Male) | 1600 meters run within 5 min 45 sec | Emphasise landing technique + ankle strength |
| Running Requirement (Female) | 800 meters run within 3 min 40 sec | Focus on short-distance speed + endurance mix |
| Long Jump (Male) | 14 feet (1 chance) or 13 feet (2 chances) | Practice explosive leg power drills: squats, box jumps |
| Long Jump (Female) | 9 feet (1 chance) or 8 feet (2 chances) | Maintain a healthy BMI, avoid extreme dieting |
| High Jump (Male) | 4 feet (1 chance) or 3 feet 9 inches (2 chances) | Train with incremental bar height practice |
| High Jump (Female) | 3 feet (1 chance) or 2 feet 9 inches (2 chances) | Practice take-off timing and flexibility |
| Daily Running Routine | Core component of PET | 5–6 days/week running: 2 days speed, 3 days endurance |
| Speed Training | Improves timing | Sprint drills (100 m × 6–8 reps), interval running |
| Endurance Training | Prevents fatigue | Slow long runs (2–3 km) at conversational pace |
| Strength Training | Supports jumps and injury prevention | Squats, lunges, calf raises, planks (3–4 days/week) |
| Flexibility Training | Reduces muscle stiffness | Daily dynamic stretching + yoga |
| Warm-up & Cool-down | Mandatory to avoid injury | 10 min warm-up before, 10 min stretching after training |
| Footwear Selection | Often ignored but critical | Use proper running shoes, avoid flat or worn-out shoes |
| Diet & Nutrition | Fuels performance | Balanced diet: carbs (energy), protein (muscle), fluids |
| Hydration Strategy | Prevents cramps | 2.5–3 L water/day, electrolytes during intense training |
| Body Weight Management | Impacts speed | Use a stopwatch/mobile app to track progress |
| Medical Fitness Awareness | Medical test follows PET | Control BP, sugar, eyesight; avoid smoking/alcohol |
| Mock PET Practice | Builds confidence | Simulate actual PET conditions once a week |
| Time Tracking | Essential for running | Rest on pain days, ice therapy, and avoid overtraining |
| Injury Prevention | Ensures continuity | Practice PET under pressure, visualisation techniques |
| Mental Preparation | Controls anxiety | Practice PET under pressure, visualization techniques |
| Common Mistakes to Avoid | Leads to failure | Practice PET under pressure, visualisation techniques |
| Last 30 Days Focus | Final polishing phase | Skipping warm-up, overtraining, and ignoring jumps |
| Last 7 Days Strategy | Peak performance window | Light jogging, stretching, no heavy workouts |
| PET Day Preparation | Final execution | Proper sleep, light meal, early reporting, calm mindset |
