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 I need to ace the Army Physical Fitness Test? Q. I have until May before I ship off, but I need to ace the APFT by then. I can barely run 1 mile, and I can do so in just under 8 minutes. In two minutes per exercise I can do 37 push ups and 38 sit ups. I would like to be able to run 2 miles in under 13 minutes, and be able to run 6 miles in under an hour. I would also like to be able to 71 push ups in 2 minutes, and 78 sit ups in 2 minutes. I'm working out everyday, but I feel as though my routine isn't producing results. Thank you in advance! Asked by Jon P - Wed Feb 18 09:31:41 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments 17 to 21 to be a ranger? Q. Considering joining the army and then trying to become a ranger, I read that you must "Score 60 percent on the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) in the 17 to 21 age group", does that mean you have to be 17 to 21 to become a ranger (as I am 24)? Also on average how long does it take before you can get a chance to become a ranger? Asked by Jack C - Thu Mar 12 01:58:14 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. You are graded as a 17-21 year old regardless of your age. This makes it a little easier to max out on your pushups and sit ups but holds you to a higher run standard. If you can get RIP in your enlistment contract, you can get started in a Ranger career almost immediately. Good luck.

Q. Alright, something thats been bugging me for a while now, is that, despite being an athletically built and pretty muscular individual, I seem to have a fat face when seen from the side. I do ROTC, and I can run 2 miles in 11:42, scored a 300 (perfect) in the APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test) and have a heart rate of 63. I have a six pack, which would lead me to believe that my body fat percentage is very low. I'm 18 and my parents claim its just "baby fat," that my face hasn't fully developed yet, but still it's a bit irritating. Any advice on getting a more tone face, or why this is, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Asked by Patrick - Sat Jan 10 14:36:30 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Well some people just tend to have a chubby face, even though they're not even fat. I wouldn't worry too much, because in time I think it would get better.
