Appendix A

Army Physical Readiness Test (APRT)

The intent of the Army Physical Readiness Test (APRT) is to provide an assessment of the PRT program. Physical

readiness testing is designed to ensure the maintenance of a base level of physical readiness essential for every

Soldier, regardless of Army MOS or duty assignment. PRT programs must be developed to take this base level of

conditioning and raise it to help meet or exceed mission-related physical performance tasks. Commanders should

ensure physical readiness testing does not form the foundation of unit or individual PRT programs. Refer to AR 350-

1,Army Training and Development, for policy guidelines pertaining to the APRT.

APRT OVERVIEW

A-1. The APRT is a physical performance test that provides a measure of strength, endurance and mobility. It

indicates a Soldiers ability to perform physically and handle his own body weight. APRT standards are adjusted for

Soldiers ages and physiological differences.

EVENT SEQUENCE

A-2. The APRT consists of the 60-yard progressive shuttle run, rower, standing long jump, push-ups and 1.5-mile

rundone in that orderon the same day. All five events should be completed within four hours. The test period is

defined as the period of time that elapses from the start to the finish of the five events (from the first 60-yard

progressive shuttle run to the last Soldier crossing the finish line of the 1.5-mile run event).

A-3. TBD.

A-4. APRT results will be recorded on DA Form 705 (form reference located at the end of this appendix). One

scorecard will be maintained for each Soldier. The scorecard will be kept in a central location in the unit and will

accompany the individual military personnel records file at the time of permanent change of station IAW AR 350-1.

Units and separate offices monitor the performance and progress of their Soldiers. Individual Soldiers are not

authorized to administer the APRT to themselves to simply satisfy record test requirements. A minimum of FOUR

(4) Soldiers are required to administer an APRT: OIC or NCOIC, an event supervisor (the OIC/NCOIC mayact as an event supervisor), an event scorer (grades, records raw scores and times the shuttle run for his lane),

a timer and back-up timer for the rower, push-up and 1.5-mile run, as well as, support personnel.

A-5. Any piece of clothing not prescribed as a component of the IPFU, ACU or commander authorized civilian

attire is not permitted for wear during the APRT. Neither are devices or equipment that offers any potential for

unfair advantage during testing. Unless prescribed as part of the Soldiers medical profile, the wearing of the

following items are not authorized: nasal strips, weight lifting gloves, elastic bandages, or braces of any kind.

Electronic devices are also not authorized (IPODs or cell phones). AR 670-1, Wear and Appearance of Army

Uniforms and Insignia, specifies the components of the IPFU ensemble.

APRT ADMINISTRATION

SUPERVISION

A-6. The success of any physical readiness testing program depends on obtaining valid and accurate test results;

therefore, the APRT must be administered properly to accurately evaluate individual Soldier and unit physical

readiness. Supervision of the APRT is necessary to ensure the objectives of the PRT are met. Proper supervisionprovides for standardization of the following:

Test preparation. Control of performance factors. Training of test personnel. Test scoring.

PLANNING

A-7. Planning for the APRT should be directed at securing the most accurate evaluation of Soldiers participating in

the test. Preparatory requirements include the following:

Selecting and training of an event supervisor, event scorers, timers, demonstrators, and support personnel. Conducting equipment inventory. Securing the test site.

A-8. The commander should ensure that testing is consistent with regard to events, scoring, clothing, equipment and

facilities. Testing should be planned to permit each Soldier to perform at his maximal level and should ensure the

following:

Soldiers are not tested when fatigued or ill. Soldiers do not participate in tiring duties before taking an APRT. Weather and environmental conditions do not inhibit physical performance. Risk analysis is conducted.

DUTIES OF TEST PERSONNEL

RESPONSIBILITIES

A-9. The APRT personnel must be familiar with all aspects of administration of the test. Supervision of Soldiers and

laying out the test area are essential duties. The following test personnel are recommended to conduct an APRT: an

OIC and/or NCOIC, an event supervisor(s), a timer, a back-up timer, an event scorer(s), a demonstrator(s) and

support personnel. The minimum number of personnel required to administer the APRT is four (4): an

OIC/NCOIC, an event supervisor (OIC/NCOIC may act as event supervisor), an event scorer, timer and

back-up timer, as well as support personnel.

A-10. The OIC/NCOIC is responsible for the administration of the APRT. Responsibilities include:

Conduct the preparation drill and military movement drill 1 after reading event instructions. Administration of the test. Conduct the recovery drill upon completion of the test. Procurement of all necessary equipment and supplies. Arrangement and layout of test area. Training of event supervisors, scorers, timer(s), back-up timer, demonstrator(s) and support personnel. Ensure tests are properly administered and that events are explained, demonstrated and scored according to

standard.

When test personnel required to administer the APRT are limited, the OIC/NCOIC may perform the dutiesof an event supervisor.

Validate and report test results.


3/20

A-11. The event supervisors are responsible for administration of test events. Responsibilities include the following:

Administers one or more test events. Ensures necessary equipment is on hand for each event(s). Reading of APRT event instructions. Conducts APRT event demonstration. Supervises event scoring to standard. Answers questions on scoring discrepancies and informs the OIC/NCOIC.

A-12. The event scorers are responsible for scoring events to standard. Responsibilities include the following:

Enforces test standards. Records the correct number of repetitions in the raw score block on DA Form 705. Records initials in initials box on DA Form 705. Performs other duties assigned by the OIC/NCOIC and/or event supervisor. Receives training conducted by the OIC/NCOIC and/or event supervisor to ensure scoring is to standard.

A-13. The demonstrators are responsible for demonstrating the 60-yard progressive shuttle run, rower, standing long

jump and push-up events to standard. Responsibilities include the following:

Assists the event supervisor by demonstrating the 60-yard progressive shuttle run, rower, standing longjump and push-up to standard during the reading of event instructions.

Performs other duties assigned by the OIC/NCOIC. Receives training, conducted by the OIC/NCOIC, to properly demonstrate the 60-yard progressive shuttle

run, rower, standing long jump and push-up.

A-14. Timers are responsible for properly timing the 60-yard progressive shuttle run, rower, push-up, and 1.5-mile

run events. Back up timers are used for the rower, push-up and 1.5-mile run events.

A-15. Support personnel assist in preventing unsafe acts to ensure smooth execution of the APRT. The use of

support personnel depend on local policy and unit standard operating procedures. Medical support on site is not

required unless specified by local policy. The OIC/NCOIC should have a plan for medical support (if required).

TEST SITE

REQUIREMENTS

A-16. The OIC/NCOIC should select a test site that has the following:

Site that is free of any significant hazards. Briefing area for the reading of event instructions. Preparation area (can be same as briefing area). Soft, flat, dry area for push-ups and rower. Flat, dry hard surface area to conduct the standing long-jump. Flat, dry, and measured surface of 8 feet wide and 25 yards long, with a marked start/finish line and line

markers at 5, 10 and 15 yards to conduct the 60-yard progressive shuttle run (refer to paragraph A-35).

Flat, measured 1.5-mile running course with a solid surface that is not more than three percent (3%) grade.A-17. Sound judgment must be used in the selection of a 1.5-mile run course. There is no requirement to survey 1.5-

mile run course; however, the selected test site should be free of significant hazards such as traffic, slippery road

surfaces and areas where heavy pollution is present. Running tracks may be used to administer the 1.5-mile run

event. The OIC/NCOIC must measure the running route/track distance from start to finish, using a calibrated

engineer wheel to ensure accuracy in scoring the event.

TEST PROCEDURES

A-18. The APRT event sequence is the 60-yard progressive shuttle run, rower, standing long jump, push-up and 1.5-

mile run. The order of events cannot be changed. There are no exceptions to this sequence. The following

paragraphs describe procedures for APRT administration. On test day, the OIC/NCOIC briefs Soldiers on the

purpose and administration of the test. The OIC/NCOIC explains test administration including the scorecard, scoring

standards and test sequence. In addition, the wearing of unauthorized items such as nasal strips, braces, elasticbandages, weightlifting gloves, electronic devices (IPODs or cell phones) are addressed. Test instructions for the

60-yard progressive shuttle run, rower, standing long jump, push-up and 1.5-mile run are read prior to

conducting the preparation drill and military movement drill 1. From the beginning of the 60-yard

progressive shuttle run to the completion of the 1.5-mile run, the total time elapsed should not exceed four

hours.Upon completion of all events, the recovery drill will be conducted.
