Air Force PT Test Chart: Women 25-29
Women aged 25-29 typically face their first string of annual re-tests while careers accelerate: upgrade training, first deployments, sometimes a return to testing after pregnancy. The variable in this bracket is rarely capability; it is rebuilding rhythm after interruptions. Here you will find the baseline minimums our calculator applies for women, the full 100-point scoring picture, and FAQs specific to ages 25-29.
| Component | Baseline minimum | How it is read |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5-mile run | 16:22 | Maximum time - finish at or under this to meet the minimum |
| 2-km walk | 21:35 | Maximum time (approved alternate aerobic component) |
| HAMR shuttle run | 15 shuttles | Minimum shuttles (approved alternate aerobic component) |
| Push-ups | 18 reps | Minimum repetitions in one minute |
| Hand-release push-ups | 5 reps | Minimum repetitions (approved alternate strength component) |
| Sit-ups | 38 reps | Minimum repetitions in one minute |
| Cross-leg reverse crunches | 10 reps | Minimum repetitions (approved alternate core component) |
| Forearm plank | 1:10 | Minimum hold time (approved alternate core component) |
| Waist-to-height ratio | 0.55 or lower | Pass/fail body-composition gate - no points awarded |
How the score composes for women 25-29
The arithmetic for women in the 25-29 group is the standard one: 60 possible aerobic points plus two 20-point strength components, 100 in all.
| Component | Options | Max points |
|---|---|---|
| Aerobic | 1.5-mile run, 2-km walk, or HAMR shuttle run | 60 |
| Strength 1 | Push-ups or hand-release push-ups | 20 |
| Strength 2 | Sit-ups, cross-leg reverse crunches, or forearm plank | 20 |
In the 25-29 bracket, clearing 75 points with all minimums met passes the assessment for women; 90 and above earns Excellent.
Training focus for women 25-29
Keep an aerobic base you can step back onto. The calculator's baseline run ceiling for women is 16:22; after any training interruption, rebuild with two to three weeks of easy mileage before sharpening with goal-pace intervals rather than jumping straight into timed efforts.
The strength floor for women in this tool is 18 push-ups and 38 sit-ups. At 25-29, plank-based core work (the alternate component minimum is a 1:10 hold) doubles as run-posture training, which makes it efficient when the week only allows three short sessions.
FAQs: women 25-29
What are the PT minimums for women aged 25-29?
This calculator's baseline for women: 16:22 on the 1.5-mile run, 18 push-ups, and 38 sit-ups, with alternates such as 15 HAMR shuttles, 5 hand-release push-ups, or a 1:10 plank. Official 25-29 chart lines may vary; check DAFMAN 36-2905.
Do female standards relax between under-25 and 25-29?
In the official charts the 25-29 female column shifts slightly from under-25. The official DAFMAN 36-2905 score charts step requirements through five-year age groups, while this site's calculator applies one baseline set of minimums per gender across every age. Treat the numbers on this page as the calculator's baseline and confirm your exact line in the official charts.
How do women 25-29 reach an Excellent rating?
Score 90 or more of 100 composite points with every minimum met. Practically, that means a run well under the baseline ceiling and rep counts far above the 18/38 floors, since minimums alone land near 70 points.
What happens to my testing schedule after pregnancy at this age?
DAFMAN 36-2905 provides a defined post-partum exemption and conditioning window before testing resumes; your medical provider and unit fitness program manager set the exact dates. The calculator itself never adjusts for that status, so treat its output as a goal-tracking estimate while you rebuild.
