National servicemen from the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force will soon be offered the expertise of sport scientists to get in shape for their annual fitness test.
Fitness diagnostic tests, which are currently available only to athletes, will be extended to these servicemen from Aug 1 to gauge their fitness levels so they can better tailor their training for their Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT).
These diagnostic tests, which will cost between $100 and $150 a session, include heart and respiratory rate measurements and identification of any musculoskeletal deficiencies.
After the tests, servicemen can then sign up for a 10-week fitness training programme, which will cost $400 for 20 sessions.
