The Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) is designed to test the muscular strength/endurance and cardiovascular respiratory fitness of soldiers in the United States Army. Soldiers are given a score based on their performance in three events consisting of the push-up (PU), sit-up (SU), and a two-mile run. Possible scores range from 0 to 100 points in each event. A passing score is a total of 180 or higher with a minimum score of 60 in each event. Army Field Manual (FM) 21-20 covers the administration of the APFT, as well as ways to conduct personal, squad and unit level physical training (PT) sessions and will be performed by close out formation. A soldier is required to take a "record" (meaning for official records) APFT at least twice each calendar year. If, due to a diagnosed medical condition, a soldier is temporarily unable to conduct one or more of the events in the record APFT, the soldier can be granted an extension to allow him or her to overcome his or her injury and return to an acceptable level of physical fitness. If a soldier has a permanent medical condition that keeps him or her from conducting the two mile run, an alternate aerobic event (2.5 mile walk, 800 yard swim, or 6.2 mile bike) is taken. There are no alternate events for the push-up or sit-up. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License When you do your APFT(Army Physical Fitness Test) do you have a time limit? Q. When you have to do your APFT do you have a time limit? Not when you have to do you 2-mile run...but when you have to do your push-ups and sit-ups. Do you have to do it all at once or can you take 10 second breaks when you're tired and then finish the rest...or something like that. I'm just wondering if you have to do your APFT straight through or if you can take little short breaks then finish the rest. Please only answer if you have army experience! Asked by tonn - Thu Feb 26 07:55:51 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. you have two minutes to do each aspect:, sit ups, push ups. there will be a break in between each component. I know in the Navy you have a partner for the push ups and sit ups and your break is when they are doing theirs. Your score is based on how many you crank out in those two minutes. the run is timed based on age and gender.

I have an APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test) coming up at the end of May and I have three times events that I must do which consist of at least 50 situps in 2 minutes, at least 17 push ups in 2 minutes and be able to run two miles in under 19:36. I always pass my PT test and push up and sit ups are never my problem, it's always my dang run. It's been super cold out where I live all winter and since it just now started warming up I've been running more and more. This week I ran 3x. On Tues. I ran a mile and a half and then later that day I ran another mile and a half (all outside) then Wed. I only ran a mile and a half, then yesterday I ran two miles and today I took it easy again and only ran a mile and a half.

Q. Yeah... this is embarassing to say, but I dont think I'll pass the minimum requirements for the army rotc physical test for the scholarship. I'm a high school senior. What happens if I don't pass? Im not very athletic, im probably severely underweight (120 lbs at 5'9), my explanation: I live in a single working-parent household, food is hard to come... So what happens if you don't pass the scholarship physical fitness test? I have all the other requirements down: 1380 SAT score (math+reading), 3.0 gpa, AND I'm an eagle scout. Will they allow me to be under the physical requirement? btw here are the stats: army minimum 42 pushups 53 situps 15:54 2-mile run i can only do 20 pushups (struggling...) 40 situps, but i think i can actually… [cont.] Asked by Jay K - Fri Nov 6 23:45:11 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. It is required that you pass the Army APFT at the minimum of 60% in each category in order to retain the scholarship. There is no waiver for this and anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant or lying. Also, Tyler is wrong about this. Most cadets are awarded the scholarship before ever even taking the APFT. For most prospective cadets competing for a 4 year scholarship out of high school, there is no prerequisite to pass the APFT. However, you must pass the APFT before the first semester in which you were awarded the scholarship ends.
