Let's Get More Specific Here...

Often candidates donšt understand that itšs not just strength thatšs important in the physical agility test. Strength developed by traditional weight training is important and very valuable. But, technique is important also. Once again, the secret is technique, momentum and grip....

Weight Training
There is always traditional weight training. Itšs a basic that you can't do without. It's essential for developing the strength to do the job. Without this type of training, even if you do get the job, you could get hurt on the job. You can learn these techniques from a trainer near you. These workouts are great for developing over-all strength and cardiovascular endurance necessary. Using them for a base, both before and after a sport/job specific program is advisable. But, to train very specifically for the CPAT... it might not be enough. Read on for more about sport specific training and how it applies to your next hurdle: The Agility.

Training in a way that develops your central nervous system and muscles to do certain motions or actions at a certain speed makes the whole test easier on the test date. This is called muscle memory. It increases the efficacy in work with which the body can accomplish tasks. It prevents injury when the body is called on to perform those tasks under pressure. It's an essential ingredient in enhancing performance to one's peak levels to ensure your success during the CPAT or other physical agility test.

VO₂ Max
For many years, fitness experts have advised long, medium intensity cardio work with a heart rate between 65% and 85% of your max heart rate. This is great for the every day person to maintain an acceptable level of fitness. However, this scale is based on age and a formula that does not allow for people to increase their VO₂ Max. It simply states that your max heart rate is 220 minus your age. I guess then you die? If this is true, then why do I train at 200 all the time? I'm 38. I must be a cat. No, the answer is that trained athletes have a higher VO₂ Max. I have trained my body to do that. You can do it too. You don't want to do this for extended periods of time, but for short bursts, if you train properly, the training is safe. Remember: that stair climber on the CPAT will take you to your limit... you want your VO₂ max up there so you can get through it easily!
