Looks like we will not be doing the Express Test, as the info on the website has changed.
Initial Physical Fitness Evaluation
During the first week of basic training, candidates will undergo a physical fitness evaluation that will determine if they can go on with their Basic Military Qualification (BMQ) or Basic Military Officer Qualification (BMOQ) course. The test consists of the following three consecutive items:
20M Rushes
Sandbag Drag
Shuttle Run
Here are the perfomance objectives for each step:
20M Rushes
Description: Starting from prone, complete two shuttle sprints (1 shuttle= 20 m there, 20 m back) dropping to a prone position every 10 m, for a total of 80 m. Watch the video from the Personnel Support Programs (PSP) web page.
Standard: 51 seconds
Sandbag Drag
Description: Carry one 20 kg sandbag and pull a minimum of four on the floor over 20 m without stopping. Number of sandbags being dragged depends on the type of floor. Watch the video from the Personnel Support Programs (PSP) web page.
Standard: To be completed without stopping.
Shuttle Run
Description: Run continuously between two points that are 20 meters apart from side to side at a speed increasing by 0.5 km/h with each stage of one minute. The test is over once the participant can not keep up with the speed.
Standard:
Under 35 years of age:
Men: Stage 6.0
Women: Stage 4.0
35 years of age and over:
Men: Stage 5.0
Women: Stage 3.0
You must achieve the standard for all of the three items in order to go on with your BMQ/BMOQ course.
If you do not meet the standard of one or more of the three items, you will join a specialized fitness training program that is also offered at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School (CFLRS). The program integrates overall health coaching, diet and a rigorous personalized fitness program that lasts a minimum of 28 calendar days and a maximum of 90 calendar days. From the moment you achieve the standard after the 28-day period, you are reintegrated onto a BMQ/BMOQ course. If unsuccessful at the end of 90 calendar days, you will be released from the CAF.
