-Partner <br />Procedures <br />-The test administrator will read the instructions to the participants. <br />-The test will be demonstrated, pointing out common errors. <br />-Participants must lie on their backs, knees bent at 90 degrees or tighter, heels flat Son the floor. Hands must be held <br />behind the head with fingers interlocked (little fingers must remain touching for fingers to be considered interlocked) <br />and elbows out to the sides. A partner will hold down the participant's feet by sitting on them and wrapping their <br />arms around the participant's calf muscle area. <br />-A correct sit-up is when the participant's elbows touch their knees and the participant then returns to a lying position. <br />The participant's fingers must touch the examiner's hand before starting the next sit-up. <br />1.5 MILE RUN/WALK TEST <br />Purpose <br />This test is a measure of cardio-respiratory endurance (or aerobic capacity) used in extended control and defensive <br />tactics training. This is important for performing tasks involving stamina and endurance (pursuits, searches, <br />prolonged use of force situations, etc.) and for minimizing the risk of cardiovascular health problems. <br />Equipment <br />-440 yard/400-meter track or marked level course <br />-Stopwatch <br />Procedures <br />-The test administrator will read the instructions to the participants. <br />-Participants will be given time to warm up and stretch before the run. <br />-Participants will be instructed to cover the distance as fast as possible but to begin at a pace they think they can <br />easily sustain for 10-15 minutes. <br />-Participants will be instructed to hold up fingers indicating the number of laps completed and state their name. <br />-Participants will line up at the starting line and timing will begin at the command "go". If several participants run at <br />once, one administrator will call out times at the finish line while an assistant records the names and respective times. <br />-Following this test, participants will be instructed to cool down by walking for an additional five minutes or so. This <br />prevents venous pooling, a condition in which the blood pools in the legs. Walking enhances the return of blood to the <br />heart and aids recovery. <br />-The run will be timed to the nearest second. <br />321 Kittitas County Line Deputies 1/1/17 -12/31/21
