Physical conditions

PHYSICAL CONDITIONS:

On the day of your arrival at the Foreign Legion information post, you must be medically fit to perform the physical fitness tests.

• Be physically fit to serve anywhere in any weather and without restriction.
• Have a "Body Mass Index" between 18 and 30 kg / m² (BMI = Weight / Height²) *

EXAMPLE: Body Mass Index of a man measuring 1.75 m and weighing 72 kg

BMI = 72kg / (1.75m * 1.75m) = 23.5 kg / m²

WARNING: IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO BE ABLE TO SWIM 25 M MINIMUM WITHOUT material ASSISTANCE.

Not all are considered world champions and the tests are not selective, but a minimum of preparation gives the candidate's level of motivation.
