Abstract

• A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 308 female recruits (age: 26.50±5.07) and 1640 male recruits (age: 26.96±6.06) from a southern California law enforcement agency.
• During the hiring process, recruits completed the following physical fitness assessments: 75-yard
pursuit run (75PR); 60-s push-ups; 60-s arm ergometer; 60-s sit-ups; and 2.4-km (1.5-mile) run.
• A Multivariate analysis, with age group and sex as the fixed factor was utilized to determine
between-group fitness differences (p<0.05).
