General overview of performance standards and scoring. For a detailed score estimation, try our Air Force PT Calculator. Refer to DAFMAN 36-2905 for complete official charts.

Example PFRA Standards

A few example rows from the current AFPC PFRA scoring chart, showing the minimum passing performance and the performance for maximum component points. Actual scores are tiered based on specific performance - see the calculator or the age-group pages below for the full chart.

Air Force Fitness Standards Scoring Visualization

Current test: the PFRA (AFMAN 36-2905, 24 March 2026)

The Air Force test of record is the Physical Fitness Readiness Assessment: a two-mile run (or 20-meter HAMR shuttle) instead of the retired 1.5-mile run, a 50/15/15/20 component weighting with the waist-to-height ratio scored rather than pass/fail, higher component minimums, and testing twice a year. The table above and this calculator score against the current PFRA standard; the official scoring charts are published on afpc.af.mil.

Official Resource Notice

The information presented here is for general guidance and includes simplified examples. Always consult the official AFMAN 36-2905 for definitive PT standards and scoring charts. Our PT Calculator can help estimate your score based on these principles.

Body Composition (WHtR)

Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) is scored on its own 0-20 point scale, not a pass/fail gate. Full points at 0.49 or lower, tapering to zero at 0.60 or higher.

Calculation: Waist Circumference (inches) / Height (inches)

Full points: ratio of 0.49 or lower (20 of 20 points)

Zero points: ratio of 0.60 or higher

Refer to AFMAN 36-2905 for specific measurement procedures.

Alternate Exercises

The Air Force provides alternate exercises for members with medical limitations or specific exemptions. These include:

2-km Walk (aerobic)
Hand-Release Push-ups (strength)
Cross-Leg Reverse Crunches (strength)
Forearm Plank (strength)
HAMR Shuttle Run (High Aerobic Multi-shuttle Run - aerobic)

Scoring charts for these alternate exercises are also available in DAFMAN 36-2905. Our PT Calculator supports these alternates.
