History

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.**

Thank you, Virginia State Police Association for your generous support of the National Center for Public Safety Fitness
