- W2000325604 abstract "Since 2002, the RAF has been working towards developing role-related physical tests for use as an Operational Fitness Test. The purpose of these tests, called Representative Service Tasks (RSTs), is to determine the ability of individuals to fulfil their generic operational role. The RSTs comprise: 1) The Single lift involves lifting boxes of increasing weights to a maximum of 35 kg onto a 1.45 m platform. 2) The Repetitive lift and carry requires a sandbag of 20 kg to be carried 30 m as many times as possible in 10 mins. 3) The Fire and manoeuvre includes a 22 m sprint followed by a 3 m leopard crawl, repeated eight times in the fastest time. 4) The Dig involves shovelling 0.125 m3 of gravel from one box to another through a 1 m high hole in the fastest time. PURPOSE: To propose minimum acceptable standards on each of the RSTs; to determine the impact of the proposed standards in terms of projected pass/fail rates. METHOD: Nine subject matter experts proposed minimum acceptable RST standards that were deemed to be commensurate with operational effectiveness on deployment. A cohort of 105 RAF personnel (35 female) carried out the RSTs on two occasions in order to gather normative data. RESULTS: The male cohort improved by 3%, 8%, 9% and 22% in the Single Lift, Repetitive Lift and Carry, Fire and Manoeuvre and Dig, respectively between the first and second visits. The scores for the male and females participants on the second test occasion are shown in the table, along with the pass standard, as set by the expert panel.TableCONCLUSION: These figures suggest that the standards proposed by the expert panel would have a significant impact on the number of personnel able to pass the tests, and consequently declared 'fit' for deployment. There would be a greater adverse impact in female than in male personnel. It is recommended that the RAF adopts the standards proposed but that implementation of the tests is preceded by a physical development programme that familiarises personnel with the skills of the tasks and develops them physically in the components of fitness which underpin the tests." @default.
