Navy Physical readiness tests, with associated height/weight/body fat measurements, are conducted twice each fiscal year. The test is designed to measure flexibility, muscular endurance and aerobic capacity. The Navy physical fitness test consists of a 1.5-mile run, sit-ups and push-ups. Also swimming 450m for time is an option for the 1.5-mile run. This is a standard PT test used by other branches and many law enforcement agencies across the United States.

What is a curl up for the US Navy Physical Fitness Assessment?

The Sit Ups Test is conducted as follows:

• Lie on the mat with the knees bent, feet flat on the floor, the hands resting on the thighs and the back of the head on the partner’s hands
• Curl up slowly using the abdominal muscles and slide the hands up the thighs until the finger tips touch the knee caps
• Return slowly to the starting position - see Figure 1
• The feet are not to be held
• A complete curl-up is to take 3 seconds - that is 20 repetitions/minute
• Repeat as many curls as possible at this rate
• Record the total number of curls
