Title: MFS Fit?
Post by: PF_ on March 24, 2006, 06:52:06 PM
Ever wondered if you are fit enough to be an MFS firefighter?  Not known how fit you have to be?  Well all the answers are here, you need to be level 9.6 in the beep test.  That is roughly 2500m in 12 minutes, judging by this table I found.

Referee Grade   2400m Time    Leger Beep Test          40m sprint

   A      10m 00s      11:6         6.00s   

   B1      10m 20s    10:10          6.20s

   B2      10m 50s      10:3         6.50s

   B3      11m 20s    9:5         6.70s   

   C1      11m 50s    8.9         6.90s

   C2/C3/D      12m 20s      8:5         7.20s

Hey P F, not sure if this is right, it might be less of a beep test. Most beep tests/shuttle runs are run over 20m i believe.

Its not from MFS, something to do with Americal football so maybe they test differently over there, but the times and distamce ratio would still be about right though.

Probably. Luckily today i asked my PE teacher if i could burn a copy of the beep test recordings and he said yes, so i should be able to incorporate that into my training which should be awesome. Glad i'm still at school!
