NY Metro ISOA News

NISOA Fitness Test Reminder

The second and final NY Metro administered NISOA fitness test is scheduled for July 10, 2010. Based on historical attendance statistics, we expect many members will take the fitness test with other local NISOA chapters. If you choose to take the fitness test with another chapter, please be aware that it is your responsibility to make sure the test results are sent to the NYMISOA executive board. The Executive Board members have historically spent a lot of time and effort tracking down fitness test results from other chapters. The Board will not do that going forward.

If you are taking the test with another chapter, we strongly recommend you bring this form to their test site, have it filled out at the site and forward it to Steve Lewin as soon as possible.

Change to the NISOA Fitness Test

Starting in 2010, NISOA has made a change to the third event of the NISOA fitness test. The revised event is now called the “AR 50 Meter” test. The revised event includes several changes in direction whereas the old “Brazilian AR 50 Meter” test did not include any changes in direction. The new event and the revised scoring criteria are available in our web site’s library section.
