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
