It is, therefore, important that when you join Starfleet as a new cadet, you are
fit enough to cope with the rigors of New Entry Training. FITNESS STANDARDS - New Entry In addition to the Pre-Joining Fitness Test, (PJFT), you will be required to repeat the 2.5 km run during the induction phase of your training at Starfleet Academy. The pass/fail criteria are the same as for the PJFT. Before you complete New Entry Training you will be required to pass the Starfleet Fitness Test. This also includes a 2.5 km run but the times are more demanding: |
STARFLEET FITNESS STANDARDS |
Following is an overall scoring example: 25 year-old female does 91 crunches (Excellent high) 85 points; 26 push-ups (good medium) 65 points and completion of the 2.5 km run in 15:23 (satisfactory high) 55 points. To compute an overall score add individual points (85+65+55). In this case the total points equal 205 points. The next step is to divide the 205 points by three. The resulting number 68, equals to overall score of good medium as shown on the scoring chart, (the category and level score is not achieved until the minimum points corresponding to that category and level are attained. You do not round up). 2) To establish overall PRT performance, member must perform all three events; push-ups, crunches, and a run. 3) Members who are medically waived from an individual PRT event shall not be assigned an overall score. 4) A probationary performance category is established which sends a clear message to the individual and command that without corrective action, the member is in danger of not attaining standards. Those who score an overall score of probationary shall join individuals who failed the PFA in Starfleet Command's Fitness Enhancement Program (FEP). |

BODY FAT STANDARDS The upper allowable Starfleet limits for body fat percentage are: |
Improved fitness to perform one's duties and ability to cope with the physical demands
of life in space. Improved confidence in one's own capabilities and in the physical robustness and determination of other members of the team. Improved physical ability, which in turn maximizes resistance to injury and extremes of heat; fitter people are also likely to recover more quickly from injury and physical stress. Improved alertness and reduced levels of psychological stress. Improved good health, now and in later life. |
IMPORTANCE OF FITNESS It is important that Starfleet personnel maintain a high level of fitness. The main positive benefits of being fit are: |

PFA SCORING. To build a Starfleet culture of fitness, the Physical Fitness Assessment
(PFA) scoring system is designed to illustrate areas where individuals can
seek improvement and help to establish obtainable goals. Additionally, the overall score and the scores for each event of the PFA merely show each individual where they stand in relation to other Starfleet members of the same age group. Once an initial score for an event is established, a new goal can be targeted for the individual to work towards in order to achieve a healthier lifestyle. Specifically: 1) The PFA scoring system assigns points based on performance categories and levels. Scores are averaged to determine the overall performance. POINTS ASSIGNMENT ARE: |
