THS, you have a good memory. QR1051 - Custody Hearings, notice, arrangements and evidence.

Now if you look at QR 430 does that fit the billl or even are they barking up the right tree?

To be fit . . . with the added ability to recover rapidly. This implies a test that lasts X minutes followed by an assessment of time to recover, say pulse to return to resting state or resting plus whatever.

To fulfil daily task energetically and recover given prolonged periods and adverse conditions. Like servicing the helo at the top of Pen y Fan?

Adequate is merely pass the AFT.

Only a small element of time in the working week.

Directed complusory fitness training in work time provided properly organised structured and supervised.

The last is really the rub.

A mass cross-country run three times per week (B o r i n g) is easy to administer and to measure provided the course is circular with no easy access to short cuts.

Small section training OTOH could be a real pain. If one person is in charge of, say, 12 men there may be a need for 10 or more sessions to fit with shift patterns and availability.

I will watch with interest.
