Abstract
The 20 m Multistage Fitness Test (MSFT) and 2.4km run are common measures of aerobic fitness, with fitness testing playing a significant role in the academy training of law enforcement recruits. These tests may be interchanged throughout their training, and potentially their period of employment. Noting this, the respective strengths and weaknesses of each assessment can vary. Therefore, this study aimed to develop normative percentile rankings for the 20MSFT, and 2.4km run specific to law enforcement recruits; and to analyse the relationship between the two tests
