Formula

T1-15 Score Calculation

The T1-15 score is calculated by summing the points earned from each exercise. Points are awarded based on performance times compared to standardized benchmarks. The formula is:

T1-15 Score = Σ (Points for each exercise)

Where Σ represents the sum of points from all 15 exercises. The maximum possible score is 100 points.

The exact point distribution varies by exercise and gender, with faster times earning more points. The calculator uses standardized scoring tables based on military fitness standards.

Interpreting Results

T1-15 scores are typically interpreted as follows:

Score Range	Performance Level	Recommendation
80-100	Excellent	Maintain current fitness level
60-79	Good	Focus on maintaining strength and endurance
40-59	Fair	Improve with targeted training programs
Below 40	Poor	Consult a fitness professional for improvement plan

Scores above 80 indicate excellent fitness, while scores below 40 suggest significant room for improvement. Athletes should aim for scores in the 80-100 range for optimal performance.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a T1-15 score for a male athlete with the following performance times:

2.5 minute 50-meter run
30 push-ups
15 pull-ups
1.5 minute 1.5km run
3.5 minute 3km walk
1.2 minute 100m swim
1.8 minute 1.5km bike
1.5 minute 100m crawl
1.3 minute 100m breaststroke
1.4 minute 100m butterfly
1.6 minute 100m backstroke
1.7 minute 100m freestyle
1.5 minute 100m IM
1.4 minute 100m medley
1.3 minute 100m sprint

Using the calculator with these inputs, the athlete would receive a T1-15 score of 85 points, indicating excellent fitness level.
