Understanding the IPPT

The Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) is a cornerstone of fitness assessment in the Singapore Armed Forces. This comprehensive test evaluates your physical readiness through three key stations: push-ups, sit-ups, and a 2.4-kilometer run. Your performance in these exercises not only determines your fitness level but also affects your eligibility for various incentives, awards, and career progression within the SAF.

Whether you're preparing for your first IPPT or looking to improve your existing score, understanding the test format, scoring methodology, and training strategies is crucial for success. Our guide provides you with evidence-based information and practical tips to help you achieve your fitness goals.
