Candidate Fitness Assessment

Event 3: Shuttle run

The Candidate begins the test with his/her entire body behind the start/finish line (Figure 7). On the command "Go," the candidate will sprint 30 feet to the turn around line. His/her foot and hand must simultaneously touch the floor on or beyond the turn around line (Figure 8). The candidate will then sprint back to the start/finish line, touch on or beyond the start/finish line and turn, sprinting back to the 30' line. The candidate will touch on or beyond the turn around line and then sprint back across the start/finish line. The candidate will execute two trials with a one-minute rest between trials.

The examiner will give the command "Go," start the stopwatch and monitor the Candidate to ensure he/she touches on or beyond the turn around lines as outlined above. The examiner stops the watch when the Candidate crosses the start/finish line. After one-minute, the event is repeated and the examiner will record the best of the two trials in seconds/tenths on the CFA form.
