This event relates to the explosive power that is needed in operational or pursuit tasks that require jumping and vaulting. With the use of the Vertec Jump Apparatus, the instructor measures your standing reach, then you may choose from two stances to gain explosive power: feet parallel with one jump up, or feet apart and then gather and jump. You will jump three times reaching as high as possible. The instructor records the highest jump. If you achieve a jump measurement of 24 inches or more, no more jumps are required. Event #4 - One-Minute Sit-ups Sit-ups measure your abdominal muscle endurance, which relates to your ability to perform tasks that involve force. Performance sit-ups are not crunches.

One lap equals one-quarter mile and six laps equals 1.5 miles.
