The Bar Or is a test that checks the level of physical fitness. It was invented by
Professor Oded Bar Or. It serves a dual purpose, to allow the commanders to
evaluate the level of fitness of the soldiers and to enable one to gauge his level
of fitness. The test is designed to measure the fitness improvement over the
course of basic training and officers course of regular and career soldiers in the
IDF and police officers in the Israel Police. The test is usually conducted 3 times,
at the beginning, middle, and end of training. This allows one to see the fitness
progress over time.
In 2014 the IDF introduced a New Fitness Test
The new IDF Fitness Test includes the following exercises:
1) Pull Ups (not Chin Ups) the maximum amount one is capable of making
regardless of the time.
2) Dips the maximum amount one is capable of making regardless of the time.
Arms must decend 90 degress.
3) 3000 meter run (1.86 miles)
All of the exercises are performed one after another with little to no rest in
between. Generally the 3000 meter run is first however there are some units that
do the run last.
Currently there is no point system for the Push Ups and Dips. It is pass or fail.
One needs to perform the following to pass:
Pull Ups 11
Dips 18
There is a point system for the 3000 meter run. One must score at least 50 points
to pass (under 15:33 minutes)
Below is the point system for the 3000 meter run:
The Former Bar Or Fitness Test:
The BarOr test is carried out in field conditions and includes the following
exercises:
1) Situps the maximum amount one is capable of making, regardless of the
time (without stopping). The count is stopped if one stopped for more than two
seconds or more.
2) Pushups* the maximum amount that one can make, regardless of the time.
(without stopping). The count is stopped if one stopped for two seconds or more.
*In the past it was customary to carry out the exercise with pullups instead of
pushups.
3) 2000 meter run (1.242 miles)
All of the exercises are performed one after another with little to no rest in
between. Generally the 2000 meter run is first however there are some units that

How to perform the (Former) Bar Or test exercises
(Guidelines)
Pushups pushups should be done so that the chest goes down to a height of
10 cm from the ground. This is usually practiced with one putting his fist
underneath his partners stomach.
Situps – The elbows should touch the knees on the way up and the shoulder
blades should touch the ground on the way down. Make sure that the fingers of
the hands are clasped behind your head.
