US Air Force Physical Fitness Assessment

The Air Force Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) is designed to measure the physical fitness and readiness of Airmen. The test consists of three components: muscular strength (push-ups), muscular endurance (sit-ups), and cardiovascular fitness (1.5-mile run). Each component is scored from 0 to 60 points, with the maximum composite score being 180.
