What Is Involved In The NPF Fitness Test?
NPF fitness test is intended to assess whether you have the stamina needed to be a police officer, not an Olympic athlete.
It involves a multi-stage shuttle run, also known as the ‘bleep test’, which is a physical test of your aerobic capacity (stamina).
It involves running between two points that are 15 meters apart (a “shuttle”).
The pace of each shuttle is synchronized with a pre-recorded audio tape that bleeps at set intervals – and speeds up during the test.
It can be challenging – after all, police officers need to be fit to do their job well. However, as long as you are reasonably fit and have prepared enough in advance, you should be fine.
