This Fall’s PFT will be held over 6 days at the Field House. Spreading out the days will help with distancing. Friday was the start and will continue every day next week during the cadet’s PE Period. The PE periods are 0730-0845, 0930-1045, and 1400-1515.

As a Cadet at the United States Air Force Academy, they will take physical fitness tests each semester to measure their overall strength and conditioning. Proficiency is required in both the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) and the Aerobic Fitness Test (AFT). Cadets are required to take both the AFT and PFT each semester of their cadet career. This will be the final PFT for Seniors.
