Think you’re fit? Want to get fit?
The SUNY Broome Student Wellness Challenge may be for you!
Criminal Justice & Emergency Services, Physical Education and Sport Studies and Student Health Services are sponsoring a challenge to motivate our students to work toward achieving better fitness in Spring 2018. It is based on the New York State Municipal Police Training Council Fitness standards which measure fitness using running ability, sit-ups and push-ups. The ultimate goal will be to meet or exceed the standards, but participants can set their own goals and work toward improvement. The New York State standards are provided below and can be found in the following manual:
Medical and Physical Fitness Standards
and Procedures for Police Officer Candidates (pdf)
The Challenge will start on February 15th with an initial assessment and end on April 26th with a final evaluation. A progress assessment will also be offered on March 29th to let participants check their status against their goals. Assessments will be conducted from 2 PM to 4 PM on the dates noted.
Any student who signs up for the Challenge and completes the initial assessment will receive a Wellness Challenge water bottle. Participants who successfully complete the Challenge will receive a Certificate of Completion and a T-Shirt. Prizes will also be awarded for Most Improved and the leaders in each of the Challenge categories. Students are required to participate in the pre and post test, and are strongly encouraged to participate in the mid test to measure their progress.
Suggested clothing Workout clothing including sweat suits or shorts and T-shirt as well as a good pair of gym shoes.
Sign up for the challenge before February 12th. Be sure to sign up early! Participation is limited to the first 350 students. An email confirming your registration will be sent on or before 2/12/18.
