The Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) was a standardized assessment used by the U.S. Army to measure a soldier's muscular strength, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness. It consisted of three timed events scored from 0 to 100 points each—2 minutes of push-ups, 2 minutes of sit-ups, and a two-mile run—with a minimum score of 60 required in each event to pass. Active-duty soldiers were required to take the test twice a year, while Army Reservists and National Guard members had to complete it once annually. For soldiers with permanent medical conditions, the run could be substituted with an alternative aerobic event such as a 2.5-mile walk, 800-yard swim, or 6.2-mile cycle ride. Introduced in 1980, the APFT replaced earlier calisthenics-based assessments and remained the standard until it was phased out in 2020 in favor of the new Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT).
