Study on impact of new fitness testing system

1. Study on Impact of new IPPT system
with effective from 1 Apr 2015

2. Overview
• Current IPPT and Score System
• New IPPT and Score System
• Assumptions
• Control Group 1 & 2
• Scenario with Raw Data
• Resource Requirement (Existing v.s New)
• Concluding Remarks

3. Current IPPT System Format
Basic Fitness Component 5-Station IPPT Maximum
Points

4. Current IPPT Scoring System (5 Stations)
• Total of 4 stations points + 2.4km run time = IPPT Results
• Cat Z1  3 stations (Chin Up, Sit Up & 2.4km Run)
Chin up, Sit
up & 2.4km
run

Pass (NSmen) >50
Pass with Incentive (NSmen)
Pass (Active)
>60
Silver >70
Gold >80
Gold (Commando/Diver/Guards) ≥85
New IPPT Scoring System (3 Stations)

Comparison Table for current and new IPPT system

7. Assumptions
In reviewing the old and new IPPT system, the following
assumptions are made;
1. Numbers who previously fail SBJ (Standing Broad Jump) and
SR (Shuttle Run) will now pass or obtain an award.
2. Numbers who previously fail Pull Up component will now
stand a higher chance of passing Push Up component.
3. Numbers who are able to meet the requirements of Pull Up
previously are now expected to perform much better in the
Push Up component (e.g. shift from pass to silver, shift from
silver to gold, etc.)
4. Numbers that previously are unable to clear IPPT will now
find it easier to meet ‘Pass” requirements (most likely the
largest group)

8. Age Group Table
Age Group Comments
< 22 The assumption would be
the participant is in their
prime and has continued in
active lifestyle. As such,
IPPT scores should not have
much variation.
22 – 24
25 – 27
28 – 30 The age groups 31 – 33 and
37 – 39 are selected as
control groups against the
scores for the different levels
of awards
31 – 33*
34 – 36
37 – 39*
40 - 42

9. Control Group 1 - Age Group 31 - 33

10. Control Group 1 - Age Group 31 - 33

11. Control Group 2 - Age Group 37 - 39

12. Control Group 2 - Age Group 37 - 39

17. Scenarios based on Raw Data
• Different groups
– PTP
– BMT

18. (PTP)

19. (PTP)

20. (Direct BMT)

21. (Direct BMT)

22. Resource Requirement for IPPT test
(Current)

23. Resource Requirement for new IPPT
system test (before technology use)

24. Resource Requirement for new IPPT
test (after technology use)

25. Concluding Remarks
• We anticipate an average shift in pass rate
– PTP: XX% to XX%
– BMT: X% to X%
• We anticipate a gradual shift to the right in
the bell curve
