Applicants for certified positions (law enforcement and

conducted by the staff of the Lee Center for Rehabilitation and Wellness.
Please call (239)418-2000 for an appointment.

time of testing. The fee is $40 (cash or credit card) which, if
hired by the Sheriff's Office, will be reimbursed to you. The necessary
paperwork can be picked up at Headquarters prior to your appointment or
click
here to download and print the forms. A physician's clearance may be
required. Descriptions of each test are available below. A passing
score is 300 total points.
Body Composition: This test estimates body
fat percentage. The 3-site skin fold measurement technique quantifies the
thickness of the subcutaneous fat.
Aerobic Capacity: We use the sub-max
treadmill test (Bruce protocol) to estimate your maximal oxygen uptake.
This test will last 3-13 minutes with the speed and incline of the treadmill
gradually increasing.
Flexibility: While sitting on the floor,
you will be reaching as far forward as you can with your legs extended
straight. This determines your hamstring and lower back muscle
flexibility.
Abdominal Endurance: This involves lying
on your back and performing an abdominal curl-up to a set rhythm. The test
is over when you vary off the rhythm or at the end of 90 seconds.
Push-Ups: To determine upper body
strength, you will do as many push-ups as you can uninterrupted. The test
is concluded when your form becomes incorrect or exhaustion. Men perform
the military style push-ups; women do the modified push-up.
