I thought that it was a biological fact that men could run faster than women

Fitness tests have always been controversial precisely because they discriminate...
Against the unfit.
The problem became exacerbated when whichever government it was decided that the various equality legislations should apply to the police (who had previously been exempt).
Which means that they now can't discriminate against unfit, fat females for being, well... Fat and unfit.
It doesn't help that they've also raised the retirement age to 60 meaning that there will inevitably be more officers who are simply too old or carrying too many injuries to pass a meaningful fitness test.

Talk.about fitNess and biological fact It has been dismissed as racist and divisive, but scientists are confronting the greatest taboo in sport: that black athletes are 'genetically programmed' to run faster and longer than white athletes. In the most comprehensive study of the biological differences between African and European athletes, Scandinavian researchers compared runners in Kenya and Denmark. Their findings confirm what observers have long suspected: that many Africans have greater stamina and speed than Europeans. On your Argument of fitness k there should be more Black police officers. |

Next in the news & calling it now: Policewoman dies of heart-attack while trying to chase suspect..... Talk about.physical strength when I was about 8 my dad was in Hospital And a few beds down there was a young man in early 20s had a Heart attack he was in the Army Also phsycal strength heart attacks Cardiac arrest is often fatal when the heart suddenly stops beating. This can happen to anyone, but some sportspeople are particularly prone to it due to their physical exertion on the playground. Cardiac arrests in footballers are no exception; sadly, many have died during matches or training sessions. |

Next in the news & calling it now: Policewoman dies of heart-attack while trying to chase suspect..... Yep. And then of course the same bleeding hearts will be complaining that the organisation didn't do enough to safeguard the health of it's staff by ensuring that they're fit enough. |

It's never a good idea to look at outliers.
It can happen to anyone, but heart attacks are far more prevalent in people who are unfit than people who are fit.

Its been a given since Chicken George ran the 5000 yards across Sam Harvey's plantation that black people are better runners due to genetics skeletal shape and so forth . Having black officers would just confuse everyone as to who is chasing who and besides thats what the dogs are for |

Indeed that is correct and has been obvious to anyone since Tommy Smth held up a black glove in 1968, however what is also cogent to this point is that the racial disparity in other abilities are also part of the police employment requirements and in those we have a problem. I know not why it is OK to say on average one race runs better but on average another race has better abilities than the good runners. Perhaps it would interfere with that shibboleth that equality of outcome is the only measure that is fair when we all know it is not. |

I thought that it was a biological fact that men could run faster than women Lab coat time Depends on distance and other criteria Men have more muscle mass and may be able to sustain higher speeds over a short distance. Above that initial sprint 200-400 yds a chemical high in concentration in sherpas which alliws them to function at low oxygen cuts in. Can’t recall its name After about a kilometre the capacity of male muscle to burn oxygen is compromised and the female ability to function anaerobically under stress while their systems are compromised by pregnancy overtakes the make system. It’s all a question of raw power versus fuel not burning in the absence of oxygen. So men may be more competent pursuers, or they may not be. The above won’t apply as much in cases of elite trained athletes but policemen and women are hardly that elite in their athleticism. |

Sorry sandi that went right over my head Can you explain to me in more simple terms. Different races have different abilities on average. That does not mean any individual can be judged purely on his race but what happens in the real world is that for most sport black people will tend to be more prevalent, for numbers geniuses the Indian Sub-continent is a large source, for intelligent philosophical and scientific prowess Jews tend to shine, for organisation skills NW Europe is a happy hunting ground. The problem is that also for negative features races also have their higher than average expectations. This is a fact of life. When nothing else is known about any individual selecting on race would be a better risk to get the right person in the right job. |
