CCS Cooper Standards
About this reference
A publicly hosted scoring document from Critical Concepts and Strategies, LLC (CCS; ccstest.com) titled The Cooper Standard for Law Enforcement Physical Assessment (Scored). It supplies age- and sex-specific rows for 1-minute push-ups, 1-minute sit-ups, 1.5-mile run, 300 m run, and vertical jump, with Superior, Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor, and Very Poor category overlays. The document does not identify a sample, collection period, analysis, or a specific underlying publication. For push-ups, sit-ups, 300 m run, and vertical jump, the selected P5/P25/P50/P75/P95 rows agree with the corresponding 2013 Cooper Institute monograph scan. The 1.5-mile grid does not: after converting scan times consistently, 58 of 60 selected age/sex cells differ. FitnessNorms therefore cites CCS directly for the 1.5-mile values and does not attach the monograph's Cooper Clinic sample counts to that grid.
Known limitations
- The document does not disclose its sample, collection period, derivation, or the exact Cooper source used
- The 1.5-mile values materially conflict with the scanned 2013 Cooper Institute monograph table, so the two sources must not be treated as interchangeable
- Category labels are a CCS scoring overlay; the document provides no job-task validation for using a percentile category as a minimum employment standard
