This test is very demanding and you must be in shape to pass it. Look over each event to see what muscles come into play. You must have good strong legs to get past the stair climber. Do not let this first step of the test fool you as it will tax your legs to there limits. Your legs are the largest muscles in your body and will require the most energy to finish.
Endurance also plays an important role.
If you are planning to pass this test with our department or any other department that gives it, then prepare fot it. Bring something to snack on and drink as you could be waiting for up to 5 hours before your number is called. Your body will be needing plenty of fuel to finished the test. Depending on your wait, you might need one, two or possibly three light snacks to keep your energy levels up. I saw allot of people sitting around all morning waiting for their number to be called and not eat or drink anything.
