Fitness standards Air Force only

Air Force PFRA Calculator

Check current Air Force PFRA component scores (cardio, body composition, strength, and core) so you can see the composite and category from the 2026 diagnostic period standard.

Best used when you want a fast standards check under the new 2026 PFRA scoring model.

Age group used to determine your PFRA performance standards per the 2026-02-26 DTM.

Sex used to determine your PFRA performance standards per the 2026-02-26 DTM.

Cardiorespiratory event: 2-mile run or High Aerobic Multi-shuttle Run (HAMR).

Your cardio performance (time for run, laps for HAMR) — options reflect your age group and sex.

Waist-to-height ratio (waist circumference ÷ height). Used for body composition scoring per the 2026-02-26 DTM.

Muscular strength event: 1-minute push-ups or 2-minute hand-release push-ups (HRPU).

Your strength performance in reps — options reflect your age group and sex.

Core endurance event: 1-minute sit-ups, 2-minute cross-leg reverse crunch (CLRC), or timed forearm plank.

Your core performance (reps or time) — options reflect your age group and sex.

What this tool is for

Use this page to sum the four PFRA component scores and map the composite to the published category. The PFRA replaced the AFPT under DTM 2026-02-26. The tool uses the current scoring thresholds: Excellent ≥90, Satisfactory ≥75, Unsatisfactory <75.

Worked example

Example: an Airman with cardio 40, body comp 16, strength 12, and core 12 scores a composite of 80, placing in the Satisfactory category, which is a pass.

When to use it

Use it when you have the component scores and want the composite and category without reading the DTM line by line.

When not to use it

Do not use it for official test administration, medical accommodation handling, or any case where DTM guidance has been updated after this build.

What the result means

The composite score determines the category. Excellent and Satisfactory are a pass; Unsatisfactory is a fail. The diagnostic period runs through June 30, 2026. Official scoring begins July 1, 2026.
