LawFit
Challenge 2008
October 16, 17 and 18
In
the aftermath of the 9-11-01 terrorist attacks and with the mandate
of Homeland Security in the United States, the health and fitness
of law enforcement personnel is more important than ever. Officers
are being called upon to perform increasingly diverse duties in
support of military and national security personnel. A high level
of fitness can be the key to both officer and citizen survival.
With this in mind the National Center for Public Safety Fitness
has established the LawFit Challenge to recognize those
state troopers and highway patrol officers who have proven that
they are fit to serve. The National Center for Public Safety Fitness
invites all Law Enforcement agencies to send their
fittest officers to compete in the Seventh Annual LawFit
Challenge in October 2008 at George Mason University in Fairfax,
Virginia. This event includes four-person team, pairs, and individual
competitions.
The
LawFit Challenge consists of a series of six fitness and job-related
competitive events:
1. One repetition
maximum bench press (1RM) - based on percentage of body weight
lifted
2. One-minute timed sit-up test
3. Sit and reach flexibility test
4. Pull-ups
5. 200 yard agility course (See link below)
6. 1.5 mile run
These tests
have been found to be good predictors of an officer's fitness
for duty. Scores for the events are age and gender adjusted to
provide a fair and equitable competition for all participants.
Awards will
be presented to the top five male and female competitors as well
as the top three teams. Individual event winners will also be
recognized. All competitors will receive a variety of gifts and
fitness gear from sponsoring companies.
**Returning in 2008: Sports Massage! Certified Massage Therapists will be available again at this year's competiton! Please contact Jen at 703-547-7946 or at phit2run@yahoo.com if you have any questions.**
