Air Force PT Standards 2026: PFRA Scoring Charts

The Air Force PT standards are the scoring charts for four components, waist-to-height ratio, muscular strength, core endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness, by age group and sex, with a composite from 0 to 100. This page prints the charts whose header reads "Final USAF Physical Fitness Readiness Assessment Scoring (Effective 1 Mar 26)", the minimums, the 2-kilometer walk table and the paragraphs of DAFMAN 36-2905 that govern them. To score your own results use the Air Force PT calculator.

Maximum points and categories

“Members achieve a composite score from 0 to 100 based on the following maximum component scores with component minimums: 50 points for Cardiorespiratory, 20 points for Body Composition (does not have a minimum requirement), 15 points for Muscular Strength, and 15 points for Core Endurance.”
DAFMAN 36-2905 (24 March 2026), paragraph 3.7.1
“The categories of PFRA scores when assessing all components are: Excellent (≥ 90), Satisfactory (75 - 89.9) and Unsatisfactory (≤ 74.9 and/or any component minimum not met). (T-1)”
DAFMAN 36-2905 (24 March 2026), paragraph 3.6.1
“Completing the minimum exercise repetition/duration in all fitness assessment component modalities does not generate enough points to earn a composite score of 75 or greater. Repetition/durations below the required minimum receive a component score of zero.”
DAFMAN 36-2905 (24 March 2026), paragraph 3.7.4
“[…] Members taking the PFRA must achieve a minimum score in each of the physical components excluding body composition and an overall composite score of ≥ 75 to remain physically ready. (T-1) The Air Force body composition assessment and standards are agnostic, while the remaining components are based on age and sex.”
DAFMAN 36-2905 (24 March 2026), paragraph 3.1

When the truncated WHtR is 0.55 or more and the composite does not meet standards, the manual calls for a Tier 2 BFA, which is scored pass/fail:

“If an Airman's body composition component is high risk (WHtR ≥ .55) and does not meet standards on the composite PFRA, a Tier 2 BFA must be accomplished.”
DAFMAN 36-2905 (24 March 2026), paragraph 3.1.1
“Members that are identified with a WHtR ≥ .55 and not meeting standards on the composite PFRA must complete a Tier 2 BFA.”
DAFMAN 36-2905 (24 March 2026), paragraph 3.1.2.1.1
“BFA is a pass/fail assessment. If the member meets standards, the body composition assessment will be scored as an exempt component. If the member does not meet BFA standards, the member will receive an unsatisfactory score on the PFRA.”
DAFMAN 36-2905 (24 March 2026), paragraph 3.7.2

Table 3.2 (Body Fat Assessment standards):

“Male Standard: ≤ 26%. Female Standard: ≤ 36%.”
DAFMAN 36-2905 (24 March 2026), Table 3.2 (Body Fat Assessment (BFA) Standards)

The component choices, as the af.mil article lists them:

“Cardiovascular: 2-mile run or 20-meter HAMR.”
af.mil, "Air Force updates fitness test requirements," January 6, 2026
“Strength: One minute of push-ups or two minutes of hand-release push-ups.”
af.mil, "Air Force updates fitness test requirements," January 6, 2026
“Core: One minute of sit-ups, two minutes of cross-leg reverse crunches, or a timed forearm plank.”
af.mil, "Air Force updates fitness test requirements," January 6, 2026
“Body Composition: Waist-to-Height Ratio measurement.”
af.mil, "Air Force updates fitness test requirements," January 6, 2026

Minimum scores by component, age group and sex

The asterisk row of each chart is the minimum. A result below it scores zero for that component and the PFRA is Unsatisfactory. The manual sets no minimum for waist-to-height ratio.

2-kilometer walk (Table 3.1)

“Cardiorespiratory fitness is measured with 2.0 mile run or 20-meter HAMR on a certified track or course which has been established in accordance with paragraph 3.13. (T-1) The 2-kilometer walk is only authorized if medically indicated on a AF Form 469. (T-1)”
DAFMAN 36-2905 (24 March 2026), paragraph 3.15.12.1
“Members assessed on the 2-kilometer walk are considered component exempt and will fall under frequency standards in accordance with paragraph 3.10. (T-1)”
DAFMAN 36-2905 (24 March 2026), paragraph 3.6.2
“The 2-kilometer walk is a pass or fail assessment for members that are medically prohibited from assessing the 2.0mi run or 20m HAMR. No points are awarded for successful completion, nor can this assessment apply to the Excellent PFRA score. If a member passes the assessment, the member will have a composite score calculated based on the assessed components in the same way the score will be calculated if the member were exempt from the cardiorespiratory component in accordance with paragraph 3.6.2. (T-1) Note: Members that assess on the 2 kilometer walk will not be placed in PRFA Hold.”

Scoring charts by age group and sex

Each table lists the point value and the result printed for it. The top row of each chart is open-ended: that result or better earns the top points, as in "≥ 67" or "≤ 13:25". The WHtR chart's last row prints "≥ 0.60", so 0.60 or higher scores 0 points. Between rows, a result earns the highest point value whose printed result it meets, at or above the number for repetitions, shuttles and plank time, and at or below it for run times and the ratio. The ratio is the truncated waist-to-height ratio, the same in every age group.

Timeline from the af.mil article

The af.mil article of January 6, 2026, "Air Force updates fitness test requirements", announced the schedule. According to the article, testing was to be diagnostic from March 1 through June 30, 2026, and official testing was to resume on July 1, 2026. The article said:

“From March 1 through June 30, 2026, all fitness tests will be diagnostic to provide Airmen time to adapt to the new standards. Beginning July 1, 2026, the Air Force will resume official testing under the new PFA standards.”
af.mil, "Air Force updates fitness test requirements," January 6, 2026

The article is a January 2026 announcement. The Fitness Program page of the Air Force Personnel Center is the place to check dates for your own testing.

Altitude, retesting and other standards

Altitude:

“When performed at elevation levels ≥ 5,250 feet, refer to the altitude adjustment chart at Attachment 3.”
DAFMAN 36-2905 (24 March 2026), paragraph 3.15.12.3

How often the PFRA is taken again after each category:

“Excellent (≥ 90) (Ready). All members scoring Excellent without any component exemptions will be due again in 6 months. (ARC test once every 12 months.) (T-1) Note: Members who meet the 2 kilometer walk standard in Table 3.1, are not eligible for this category.”
DAFMAN 36-2905 (24 March 2026), paragraph 3.10.1
“Satisfactory (75-89.9) (Ready). All members scoring Satisfactory without any component exemptions will be due again in 6 months (ARC test once every 12 months) (T-1) Note: Members who meet the 2 kilometer walk standard in Table 3.1, are eligible for this category.”
DAFMAN 36-2905 (24 March 2026), paragraph 3.10.2
“Unsatisfactory (≤ 74.9) (Not Ready). All members scoring Unsatisfactory will be due again in 3 months (T-1)”
DAFMAN 36-2905 (24 March 2026), paragraph 3.10.3

Airmen in AFSPECWAR and EOD: the Air Force Personnel Center's Fitness Program page lists a separate document with the label

“AFSPECWAR and EOD PFRA Charts”
AFPC Fitness Program page, document menu label

AFSPECWAR and EOD PFRA Charts (PDF). This page does not compute those charts. Space Force members: the DAFMAN says

“Guidelines for USSF physical fitness requirements can be found in SPFMAN 36-2905.”
DAFMAN 36-2905 (24 March 2026), Summary of Changes

This page does not compute those standards either.

Frequently asked questions

What are the Air Force PT standards for 2026?

The manual says: "Members achieve a composite score from 0 to 100 based on the following maximum component scores with component minimums: 50 points for Cardiorespiratory, 20 points for Body Composition (does not have a minimum requirement), 15 points for Muscular Strength, and 15 points for Core Endurance." The categories are: "The categories of PFRA scores when assessing all components are: Excellent (≥ 90), Satisfactory (75 - 89.9) and Unsatisfactory (≤ 74.9 and/or any component minimum not met). (T-1)" The charts on this page give the score printed for every point value, by age group and sex.

What is the minimum score on each component?

Each chart prints its lowest scoring row with an asterisk. For men under 25 those minimums are 30 push-ups, 33 sit-ups, 1:35 forearm plank, 19:45 2-mile run, 42 HAMR shuttles; for women under 25 they are 15 push-ups, 29 sit-ups, 1:30 forearm plank, 25:23 2-mile run, 21 HAMR shuttles. Paragraph 3.7.4 says: "Completing the minimum exercise repetition/duration in all fitness assessment component modalities does not generate enough points to earn a composite score of 75 or greater. Repetition/durations below the required minimum receive a component score of zero." The summary table on this page lists the minimum for every age group and sex.

What is the Air Force 2-kilometer walk standard?

Table 3.1 gives maximum times: men under 30 16:16 and women under 30 17:22, with a time for each older age band on this page. Paragraph 3.7.3 says: "The 2-kilometer walk is a pass or fail assessment for members that are medically prohibited from assessing the 2.0mi run or 20m HAMR. No points are awarded for successful completion, nor can this assessment apply to the Excellent PFRA score. If a member passes the assessment, the member will have a composite score calculated based on the assessed components in the same way the score will be calculated if the member were exempt from the cardiorespiratory component in accordance with paragraph 3.6.2. (T-1) Note: Members that assess on the 2 kilometer walk will not be placed in PRFA Hold."

How often is the PFRA taken again after each score?

The manual says: "Excellent (≥ 90) (Ready). All members scoring Excellent without any component exemptions will be due again in 6 months. (ARC test once every 12 months.) (T-1) Note: Members who meet the 2 kilometer walk standard in Table 3.1, are not eligible for this category." "Satisfactory (75-89.9) (Ready). All members scoring Satisfactory without any component exemptions will be due again in 6 months (ARC test once every 12 months) (T-1) Note: Members who meet the 2 kilometer walk standard in Table 3.1, are eligible for this category." "Unsatisfactory (≤ 74.9) (Not Ready). All members scoring Unsatisfactory will be due again in 3 months (T-1)"

Do the charts change at altitude?

The manual says: "When performed at elevation levels ≥ 5,250 feet, refer to the altitude adjustment chart at Attachment 3." This page does not compute an altitude adjustment; use the chart at Attachment 3 of the manual.

Do AFSPECWAR, EOD and Space Force members use these charts?

The Air Force Personnel Center's Fitness Program page lists a separate document with the label "AFSPECWAR and EOD PFRA Charts" This page uses the general PFRA charts only and does not compute the separate ones. For the Space Force, DAFMAN 36-2905 says: "Guidelines for USSF physical fitness requirements can be found in SPFMAN 36-2905." This page does not compute those standards either.
