Pre-National Service (NS) students in pre-university institutions, polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) will have to contend with push-ups, instead of pull-ups, for their National Physical Fitness Award (NAPFA) test from January 2015.

The Ministry of Education said on Thursday (Nov 6, 2014) that this change will facilitate the use of the NAPFA test results for pre-enlistment purpose, in line with the modifications in the Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) announced earlier by the Ministry of Defence.

Currently, the NAPFA test consists of six items: Sit-up; pull-up for males and inclined pull-up for females; sit-and-reach; standing broad jump; shuttle run; and 2.4km run/walk. There will be no change to the test items for all students at the primary and secondary levels, and for female students in pre-university institutions, polytechnics and ITE, MOE stated.

"Inclined pull-up and pull-up will continue to be used for this group to train upper body
muscular strength and endurance," the ministry added.

NEW PE SYLLABUS

MOE also said its new physical education (PE) syllabus is being introduced in stages from primary to pre-university level from 2014.

"The new syllabus aims to equip students with the ability to engage in a wide range of physical activities and sports. This will lay a strong foundation for a lifelong pursuit of a physically active and healthy lifestyle," it stated.

Physical fitness will continue to be emphasised through the new Holistic Assessment in PE, which will be introduced to all schools in 2016 to support the new PE syllabus. It will help students develop a holistic perspective of fitness and the enjoyment of exercise and sports. Students will track their fitness level, participation in sports, games and other physical activities, the Ministry said.

In addition, students will design their own programmes to achieve their desired fitness levels for different purposes, according to MOE.

Pre-Enlistee IPPT Booking

Are you physically fit? If you have been medically graded PES A or PES B1, you are encouraged to take the three-station Pre-Enlistee IPPT.

With effect from 1 March 2015, the three-station Pre-Enlistee IPPT will be used to assess pre-enlistment fitness. Pre-enlistees who attain 61 points or more from the three IPPT stations in the 12 months before their enlistment date, and who are medically graded PES A/B1, will be eligible for exemption from the 8-week Physical Training Phase (PTP). Those who fail to attain the required fitness level will have to undergo the PTP before attending the 9-week BMT.

In the modified NAPFA test implemented since Jan 2015, MOE has replaced the pull-ups station with the push-ups station. The modified NAPFA test now comprises the three IPPT stations of Push-Ups, Sit-Ups and 2.4km run. The results of the three IPPT stations will be transmitted to CMPB. The six-station NAPFA results with pull-ups will also continue to be accepted for those who had taken the older NAPFA test earlier in their schools.

Pre-enlistees can refer to the IPPT scoring table for the number of points they can attain for performing a specific number of sit-ups and push-ups, and for completing the 2.4km run in a specific timing. The maximum score is 25 points for the sit-up and push-up stations, and 50 points for the 2.4km run. The minimum score for each station is 1 point.

The three-station Pre-Enlistee IPPT is conducted at the Toa Payoh Stadium (map to Toa Payoh Stadium) every Wednesday (except public holidays).

You are required to book an appointment for the test via the Pre-Enlistee IPPT booking system prior to the test date and you are only allowed to make one booking at any one time.

Please note that the Pre-Enlistee IPPT results are valid for one year from the date of test. Please report for the test in sports attire and punctually.

Tests at Toa Payoh Stadium are conducted strictly on appointment only. Therefore, advance booking via NS Portal must be made latest by Tuesday before 12 noon in order to take the test at Toa Payoh Stadium the following day.

Do note that pre-enlistees who do not book their test date via the system will not be allowed to take their test at Toa Payoh Stadium.
