Calculate your Navy Physical Readiness Test score for push-ups, plank, and choice of cardio event (run, swim, row, or bike).
All three events must be Satisfactory or higher
Note: All three events must achieve at least Satisfactory to pass the PRT. The overall score is the average of the three event scores. Standards vary by age and gender.
The Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT) assesses the physical fitness of sailors through three components:
Each event is scored as Outstanding, Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, or Fail based on performance relative to age and gender standards. Sailors must achieve at least Satisfactory in all three events to pass the PRT.
The plank replaced sit-ups in 2021 as a safer and more effective core strength assessment. Alternative cardio events allow sailors to choose based on their strengths and training preferences.
The PRT is typically administered twice per year and scores are used for advancement, special programs, and overall fitness assessment.
To pass the PRT, you must achieve at least Satisfactory on all three events. There is no overall minimum score - each event must individually meet the Satisfactory standard for your age and gender.
Yes, sailors can choose from four cardio options: 1.5 mile run, 500m swim, 2km row, or 12-minute bike. The choice should be made in advance and you should train specifically for your selected event.
The Navy PRT is typically administered twice per year, once in each PRT cycle. High performers may be eligible for mock participation or exemption based on previous scores and other criteria.
Failing the PRT results in enrollment in the Fitness Enhancement Program (FEP). Consequences may include loss of advancement eligibility, restricted from special programs, and potential administrative separation for multiple failures.
The plank was introduced in 2021 as a safer alternative that better assesses core strength while reducing risk of lower back injury. Research showed sit-ups can stress the spine, while planks provide a more functional core assessment.
Yes, sailors with medical conditions may receive a PRT waiver or be authorized alternative events. Medical documentation is required, and waivers are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by medical personnel.
Get adequate sleep (7-8 hours), eat a light meal 2-3 hours before, stay hydrated, arrive early to warm up properly, and wear appropriate PT gear. Avoid heavy training 24-48 hours before the test.
Yes, PRT scores are factored into advancement eligibility and competitive standing. Higher scores (Excellent and Outstanding) can improve advancement opportunities, while failing can result in loss of advancement eligibility.
