FIT TO FIGHT FACTS: The new Air Force Fitness Program

Q Will the component weighting on the fitness test change? If so, why?

Answer: Yes. The aerobic run will account for 60 percent and body composition 20 percent -- muscle fitness (crunches and pushups) will remain 10 percent each. The component weighting was changed to incorporate science-based criterion along the health/fitness hierarchy as an indication of overall fitness. Aerobic > Body Composition > Muscle Fitness.
