Step test or 2.4km run.

[meadep07]

i am just wondering if in the medical test and interview, they make you run the 2.4kms or do you do a step test to show readiness for basic. i am just wondering what I will need to do that day. I am scheduled to do it all next week and just want to know exactly what i am looking at before i show up.

Thanks.

I am just wondering if in the initial interview and medical, they make you do a full run or if they just do a step test to gauge readiness. Any info anyone has would be great.

meadep07 - Welcome to army.ca.

You don't need to post the same question on more than one thread - it's considered spamming (which is covered in this must-read thread here, which I'm sure you've read).

Also, how much have you searched the site for what you need?

PHYSICAL FITNESS EVALUATION

During the first week of basic training, you will take a fitness test to assess your level of physical fitness.  You must pass the test to continue with basic training.

This test includes three components:

an 80-metre sprint, dropping to a prone position every 10 metres;
a 20-metre sandbag drag, during which you must carry one 20-kilogram sandbag and pull a minimum of four sandbags on the floor; and
a 20-metre shuttle run to measure aerobic fitness.

If you are applying to join a primary reserve unit then this physical fitness test is apart of the application process.
