Do you have to take the physical fitness test before or during the Philadelphia police academy?

I took the philadelphia police test, and wanted to know do you take the physical fitness test before the academy or during the philadelphia police academy? Also what would they do if you are underweight?

1. Major departments all require some type of fitness test before they make a hiring decision. Then during the academy they continue the PT. Underweight shouldn't matter so long as you meet the minimum fitness standards.
