The Multi-Stage Fitness Test ( MSFT )
The MSFT is an aerobic fitness test that is an objective measure of health and provides an indication of the amount of physical activity you undertake . The test requires you to run between two markers placed 20m apart in response to pre-recorded timing bleeps . After each minute the bleeps become progressively faster and you will be required to keep running until you can no longer keep up with the bleeps . In order to help you prepare for the MSFT we have incorporated shuttles into the RAF Fitness Training programme in this booklet . When practicing turning , remember to :
• Slightly slow down as you approach the line so you don ’ t cross it .
• Touch the line with the body half turned and push off the back leg
