IPPT

As frontline soldiers, it is essential that you maintain physical fitness and undergo regular training.

SAF continuously reviews its fitness training system to ensure that it is effective and motivating. The latest review of the NS IPPT management system will be in effect from 1 Sep 2014. Enhancements to the NS IPPT policies seek to ease administrative restrictions and better support NSmen in managing their fitness and other commitments.

Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) is a standard physical fitness test to gauge the basic physical fitness of an individual. The IPPT is a standard physical fitness test designed to test the basic components of physical fitness and motor skills of an individual soldier.

In the IPPT Gazette under the Enlistment Act dated 26 May 06, if an NSman fails to pass, or fails to take, the IPPT within any IPPT year, he will have to attend and complete a remedial training programme at any SAF FCC.

IPPT can be divided into the followings:


 * ICT IPPT This is a requirement for all NSmen participation as part of the ICT programme, unless exempted due to medical reasons.


 * Non-ICT IPPT This is conducted at various IPPT test centres and the NSman can make as many attempts at the Fitness Conditioning Centres (FCCs).
