Key Points

To examine the relationship between age and physical performance in police tactical group candidates and officers.
Analyzed performance metrics from police tactical group assessments
Evaluated the impact of age on RUSH performance times
Considered physical conditioning practices of officers
No significant correlation between age and RUSH performance times
Ongoing conditioning practices help maintain fitness in older officers

Abstract

Age was not a significant predictor of RUSH times; as such, the RUSH can be used for initial candidates and for older qualified personnel. Ongoing physical strength and conditioning practices undertaken by PTG officers may mitigate age-related fitness loss.
