AF Revises Fitness Program

Week of June 22, 2009

Significant changes will be made soon to the Air Force's current fitness program in a new Air Force instruction to be published in July 2009. The changes will take effect January 2010.  Full-time active-duty Airmen will now test twice each year.  The aerobic run will now account for 60 percent of the test (previously 50 percent), body composition will account for 20 percent (previously 30 percent), and sit-ups and push-ups remain at 10 percent each. Airmen will be required to have a composite score of 75 but will also need to meet minimum requirements for each component. Further questions on the program can be directed to Col. Arcuri, Lt. Col. John Giles and Chief Long at DSN's 224-8270, 222-4532 and 227-1661 respectively. To learn more, read te full article at Military.com.
