What is AFPS?
The Air Force Physical Fitness Score (AFPS) is a standardized measure of physical fitness used by the United States Air Force. It evaluates an individual's ability to perform basic military tasks and maintain fitness standards.
Key Components
The AFPS 15-minute test includes:
- Push-ups
- Sit-ups
- 2.5-mile run
Scoring System
The AFPS score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better fitness. The test is designed to be challenging but achievable for individuals in good physical condition.
How to Use the Calculator
Using the AFPS 15 Calculator is simple:
- Enter your push-up count
- Enter your sit-up count
- Enter your 2.5-mile run time in minutes and seconds
- Click "Calculate" to get your AFPS score
Example Calculation
If you complete:
- 40 push-ups
- 50 sit-ups
- 12 minutes and 30 seconds for the 2.5-mile run
The calculator will compute your AFPS score based on these inputs.
Interpreting Results
Your AFPS score falls into one of these categories:
| Score Range | Fitness Level | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 90-100 | Excellent | You meet or exceed Air Force standards |
| 80-89 | Good | You're close to Air Force standards |
| 70-79 | Fair | Consider improving your fitness |

Remember that AFPS is just one measure of fitness. It doesn't account for other important factors like strength, flexibility, or cardiovascular health.
