15-meter progressive cardiorespiratory endurance run:

•Run back and forth on two lines 15 meters apart. During this time, the candidate must run to the other side on or before the signal sounds, and step on the line with one foot to complete one time. If the signal does not sound, the candidate must stay on the line until the signal sounds and run back. The time between signals will be gradually shortened in stages. If the candidate fails to run to the other side of the line before or before the signal sounds for two consecutive times, the test will be over. The final score is the number of times completed in the last time. The more times the candidate completes, the higher the score.

One minute sit-ups:

•The candidate should lie flat on the mat, bend his knees about 90 degrees, put his feet on the ground, hook his hands on his ears, and after hearing the start command, curl up and stand up, so that his elbows touch the cotton stick placed flat on his knees.
