Weight Adjustable Torso Bag

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The WeightAdjustable Torso Bag is used in justice and public safety standardized physical abilities testing and reflects on hand grip, elbow flexor, back, and leg strength.  It is primarily designed to measure the ability to lift and drag a person (as in an "officer-down rescue", the extraction of someone from an area of danger, or moving an ucooperative prisoner in or out of a cell or transportvehicle) without the need for expensive "dummies".  

It also provides an appearance of fairness for test particpants over an acutal "dummy drag";  a shorter person will have more drag coefficient (more of the dummy's body on the floor) than a taller person will).  The Torso Bag requires all test participants to carry the same weight in exactly the same manner.   It is weight-adjustable to 100 lbs but can be made heavier upon request.  At 100 lbs, the Torso Bag is roughly the same weight as the torso of the average male person.  

The Torso Bag is also an excellent component for work hardening or rehabilitative programs.

Testimonials

"When I first heard about LEPAT and their practice testing, I didn't think I really needed it. Why? Because I am young and in great shape. I am a US Marine veteran and former cop from the US. I figured I would be able to pass any physical test they threw at me.

I was wrong. The truth is this...

If I had not gone to LEPAT, I would have failed the POPAT. I took the class twice, and was able to shave 25 seconds off my time. The practice not only allowed me to pass the POPAT, but have one of the better times that day. I am competing for only a few available police constable positions -- and LEPAT gave me the edge I needed".
