Pre-Test Suggestions

Training

The PPAT is a physically demanding test. Candidates who exercise regularly (which includes a muscular strength and endurance training component) and enjoy healthy lifestyle practices should be prepared to take this test. However, sedentary people will find this test difficult, largely due to the heavy loads that must be manipulated during the protocol. Candidates who are in the process of training for this test are reminded to consult with your physician with respect to the appropriateness of your training goals and your risk of developing musculo-skeletal injuries.

Preparing

To maximize physical performance and minimize adverse effects on your blood pressure and heart rate, it is recommended that candidates ensure they are well rested and:

• Do not consume beverages containing caffeine for two hours prior to the test (e.g. coffee, tea, colas, chocolate)
• Do not smoke for two hours prior to the test.
• Do not eat large amounts of food for two hours prior to the test.
• Do not consume alcoholic beverages for 24 hours prior to the test.
• Do not perform any intense physical activities 24 hours prior to the test. 

Appropriate Testing Dress

• Wear sturdy athletic shoes. Street shoes are not permitted on a gymnasium floor.
• Wear loose fitting, athletic clothing (e.g. shorts, sweat pants, T-shirt).
• Weight training gloves and back support belts are permitted and encouraged.
• Bring a towel and padlock if you wish to shower after the test.

Pre-Test Screening

1. The candidate should arrive at the pre-screening portion dressed to participate.
2. The PAR-Q & You form must be completed and presented at registration.
3. The candidate must have a pre-test heart rate of less than 100 beats/min*.
4. The candidate must have a pre-test blood pressure of less than 144/94 mmHg*.

*These measures are taken in accordance to the Canadian Physical Activity, Fitness & Lifestyle Approach protocol guideline. Should the candidate exceed these values, a five-minute rest will be given before the measurements are re-taken. Should these values still be exceeded, the candidate will be excluded from the testing session and referred to their physician.
