Position 1 is with the hands behind the head and the fingers laced. The fingers MUST <br />stay laced behind the head for the repetition to count. <br />2. Position 2 is the hands are cupped over the ears alongside the head. Again, the hands <br />MUST stay cupped over the ears for the repetition to count. <br />One full repetition starts with the back on the mat. The participant then comes forward all the way to <br />touch their knees with their elbow. Then come back down to the mat so that their head touches the <br />counter's hand. Rest can only be done in the up position. <br />Once in position, the participant has one minute to do as many correct sit-ups as they can do. <br />1.5 Mile Run <br />Measures cardio-respiratory endurance or the aerobic capacity needed in extended control and <br />prolonged defensive tactics training.
