I've been in EMS for 13 years. Never once have I ever ran a balance beam or jumped a wall or even run at that much. If the case you're going to die. This is a joke.

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

I think you misplaced police for paramedic.....lol

"Everyday Paramedic activities"... "paramedics must perform on a daily basis"... I don't know. I've been in the field for over 15 years and the only time I run is when I'm trying to get free food at the company EMS week cookout. Almost none of these tasks are performed on a regular basis. Wake County and Mecklenberg County EMS have more accurate MEDPAT physicial aptitude tests that more accurately reflects the actual physical activity and demands of EMS.

For those in Ontario, this test is still required for Greater Sudbury EMS and Manitoulin-Sudbury EMS. So while it is tough and no longer an accurate depiction of what Paramedics do, it is required.

Thanks for letting me already cross out those options when applying after I graduate. That test is so extra and unnecessary. The lifting absolutely is important. But wtf is this running around and going over balance beams and diving under chairs nonsense ? No paramedics do that.

This is some bullshit. Ima need a damn paramedic after the balance beam run foh

This must be a once in a lifetime test, when you first become a paramedic. The reason I say this is because I notice that older paramedics are obese and could never pass that test today 😉

Lol, maybe the undisciplined ones. Been at it 10+ yrs and in better shape than 90% of people my age.

Oooooh, the chairs have a stick on them like limbo. Okaaay. I thought buddy was diving in between the legs of the chair. I was like well there goes my future career options.

Wait, food? I am Hypoglycemic. What do they mean food restrictions? Also, why is every paramedic I have ever met way overweight, including my uncle, if they have to do this?

@Barbara-Csillag

Your uncle being overweight can be due to many factors such as medication, lack of exercise, alcohol consumption as a coping mechanism etc.

I'm not even sure why I'm on this video, I'm not even testing at this place, and thank god. What fool came up with this? This isn't a practical fitness test, this was a bunch of KIN grad bros sitting around on Friday night blitz out of their mind going "you know what would be really funny? Make em jump over a barrier and then super man onto the floor under a chair!" "Whoa Chad, that's completely unrelated to the job in any way and will probably result in broken teeth or some shit! AWESOME!" "I know right? Brad my man! But we gotta keep the stairs and the body drag, or else they'll catch on to how stupid we're making them look!" "TOTALLY! I'll fucking drink to that! YEEEEAAAAHHHH BUUUDDDYYYYYYY!" Like, no, please, do explain how that over/under portion is in any way practical. Not even most FBI, military or police fitness tests have that kind of obstacle clearing and that would at least KINDA make sense for their jobs. paramedics though? This smells of dumb KIN grads or ex paramedics who are too old or incompetent to do their jobs and trying to make themselves look hard in retrospect. Either way, it's pretty useless. You'd think you'd focus more on heavy lifts and carries up and down stairs, long distance weighted stretcher carries, grip strength, and carries over small obstacles or in small spaces, but that would make too much sense and remotely relate to the everyday job too much. No, Chad's ability to superman under a chair from a leap off of a box makes waaaaaay more sense right?

I know I'm being petty, but lord Jesus, this video was posted within this year. I took this to work, and my buddies and I all laughed at how stupid this test is. FYI Cambrian, this is what a real practical fitness test for paramedicine looks like , you know, something actually job related. kzread.info/dash/bejne/n22ntbSDeKfHf8o.html

Is there any research in support of this test? Is this test based on the everyday on the job movements paramedics do? I know it looks ridiculous and I personally have never heard of any medics doing any movements like this due to safety but maybe there’s some research behind it

It sorta lime the now call passer test in Missouri schools

I'm being pushed out of my paramedic degree as I can't run on a treadmill. I Can on the normal ground but not on a treadmill. It sucks. Everything I need patient wise pass but I can't run on a treadmill so bad luck. It's bullshit.

Try a very slow pace and build it up. Treadmill runs feel very unnatural but you can adjust eventually

I get making sure you can carry people but tell me if youve ever seen a paramedic run? If you have then something real fuckin bad has happened or theyre trying to dash into the shop to grab a feed before their next call out.

Tf is this nonsense

Sorry are you sure this ain’t the police force

Why would they be on a balance beam I’m confused why would a paramedic be doing gymnastics ?

The job relatedness is going to be a difficult case to make.

Good to have physical requirements, but this test is hardly relevant. Diving under chairs, eh? Stair climb, fine, but chair diving is NOT within our scope of practice. Smooth, controlled movements save lives, not combat tactics. Good test for paint ball tryouts, but not much more. How about 20 push-ups 10 chin up then a 1000m jog with 30 lbs bs in each hand. Much more realistic fitness test. The weight was just comical.

TF is that timed line run?
