Map of logistical implementation barriers and associated solutions

PTP Design	Identified Implementation Barrier	Solution
Total Program Duration	5 weeks to implement the PTP	Identify key PTP goals that could be attained in 6 weeks and design PTP accordingly
Session Duration	12 minutes to complete PTP each training session	Determine exercises that can achieve identified PTP goals (see above) and be performed and mastered within the allocated time
	Additional time may be available to complete the PTP on certain days due to overall training schedule	If individuals have not mastered exercises, then repeat those exercises If time permits, repeat more demanding exercises
Location	PTP will be performed in different locations on a regular basis	Visit each location that PTP will be performed and ensure that exercises can be performed in that location
	PTP will be performed in small areas with individuals tightly grouped together	Select PTP exercises that can be performed in a relatively stationary location
Organization’s Goals	Pass physical fitness test at end of training period	Demonstrate that the PTP will not detract to passing physical fitness test, and may ultimately enhance performance and ability to pass physical fitness test
	Develop fundamental skills	Demonstrate that the time to complete the PTP will not infringe upon other training goals and will accomplish their goal to “warm up” prior to other physical training. Demonstrate how mastering the PTP exercises develops fundamental motor skills that may improve ability to master other fundamental skills
	Develop leadership skills	Demonstrate that PTP can provide opportunities for leadership development with those leading the exercises and by providing feedback to others on PTP quality
Success Metrics	40 push ups in 2 minutes 100 sit ups in 2 minutes 1.5 mile run in 10 minutes	Ensure that administrators, implementers, and users see how the selected PTP exercises contribute to meeting these success metrics. Demonstrate the program has face validity.
Equipment	No available equipment to use with PTP implementation	Select PTP exercises that do not require use of additional equipment
