The Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) was a test designed to measure the muscular strength, endurance, and cardiovascular respiratory fitness of soldiers in the United States Army. The test contained three events: push-ups , sit-ups , and a two-mile run with a soldier scoring from 0 to 100 points in each event based on performance.
The scoring for each event in the test is dependent upon a Marine's sex and age group in all events, [12] except for planking where all sexes and ages use the same scoring scale. [10] The minimum combined score required to pass the PFT is 150. The maximum possible score is 300. [13]
