300 METER RUN <br />Purpose <br />This test measures anaerobic capacity used in high intensity baton and defensive tactics training, and is important for <br />performing short intense bursts of effort such as foot pursuits, rescues and use of force situations. <br />Equipment <br />-standard track or marked level course (300 meters = 328 yards or 984 feet) <br />- stop watch <br />Procedures <br />-The test administrator will read the instructions to the participants. <br />-Participants will be allowed time to warm up (see above procedures). <br />-Participants will be instructed to cover the distance as fast as possible. <br />-Participants will be instructed to line up at the starting line. The verbal command "Ready, set, go" will be <br />given and time will begin as the test administrator finishes the word "go". <br />-The run will be timed to the nearest half second. <br />PUSH-UP TEST <br />Purpose <br />This test measures the muscular strength/endurance of the upper body muscles in the shoulders, chest and back of <br />the upper arms (the triceps) used in high intensity self defense and arrest simulation training. This is important for <br />use of force involving pushing motion, breaking one's fall to the ground, use of the baton, etc. <br />Equipment <br />-Standard 4 -inch foam cube. <br />Procedures <br />-The test administrator will read the instructions to the participants. <br />-The test will be demonstrated, pointing out common errors and proper positioning. <br />-Participants will get down on the floor in the front leaning rest position and perform one test push-up to properly <br />locate the foam cube at the costal arch and above the xiphoid. <br />-Participants must lower their bodies until they slightly compress the foam cube and arms are at least parallel to the <br />floor, and then push up again. The back must be kept straight, and in each extension up, the elbows should lock. Resting <br />in the up position (only) is allowed. <br />SIT-UP TEST <br />Purpose <br />This test measures the muscular strength endurance of the abdominal muscles, which are used in self-defense and <br />high intensity arrest -simulation training. Further, these muscles are important for performing tasks that involve the use <br />of force, and it helps maintain good posture and minimize lower back problems. <br />Equipment <br />- Mat <br />31 !i Kittitas County Line Deputies 1/1/17 —12/31/21 <br />
