The Navy's Physical Readiness Tests, which include associated height/weight/body fat measurements, are conducted twice each year for active duty and reservist sailors. It is also tested at boot camp for recruits upon arrival into the Navy.
The test is designed to measure core stability, muscular strength-endurance and aerobic capacity. The Navy physical fitness test consists of a 1.5-mile run, plank pose and push-ups. Rowing 2,000 meters for time also is an option for the 1.5-mile run once you are active duty. The new PT test replaced crunches with the plank pose in 2021. The adjusted charts for the age groups are found in these charts:
