Key takeaways
- The PRT includes push-ups, forearm plank and one authorized cardio event. 1
- Non-combat-arms personnel need Probationary or better in every medically cleared event. 2
- Combat-arms PRT standards require Good-High or better in each event using male age-normed tables. 2
- The PRT is only part of the complete PFA. 3
What information does a Navy PRT calculator need?
It needs your age band, applicable scoring standard, test altitude, event choices and valid raw performance. 12
Scroll sideways inside this table if needed. The page itself does not scroll sideways.
| Required information | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Age and applicable scoring category | Tables are age- and sex-specific; combat arms uses the male age-normed standard. |
| Push-ups | Count correct repetitions in two minutes. |
| Forearm plank | Record the held time in minutes and seconds. |
| Cardio event | Run/walk, row and swim results have different tables. |
| Test elevation | Guide-5A has standard and increased-elevation tables. |
| Approved medical waiver | Waived events are not failed zero-point performances. |
Do not substitute a recruit program’s requirements, an unofficial workout score or a civilian fitness percentile for your command’s assessment.
What Navy PRT score is passing in 2026?
The passing standard depends on whether the Sailor is in a combat-arms occupation. 2, section 1, paragraph 7
For non-combat-arms personnel, the lowest passing category is Probationary, worth 45 points in the event tables. A failure in one medically cleared event fails the PRT regardless of the average. Combat-arms personnel must reach at least Good-High—70 points—on every medically cleared PRT event using the male age-normed standard. A general-standard pass is therefore not necessarily a combat-arms pass. 12
The overall PRT category corresponds to the average of the event points, not their sum as a 300-point Marine-style score. Body composition and other PFA requirements remain separate. 13
What is a Navy PRT scoring example?
In the male age-20–24 table below 5,000 feet, 47 push-ups, a 1:40 plank and a 12:00 1.5-mile run each earn 60 points. 1, printed page 22
Scroll sideways inside this table if needed. The page itself does not scroll sideways.
| Event | Example performance | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Push-ups | 47 correct repetitions | 60 |
| Forearm plank | 1 minute, 40 seconds | 60 |
| 1.5-mile run/walk | 12 minutes | 60 |
| Average | (60 + 60 + 60) ÷ 3 | 60 |
This example meets the non-combat-arms event standard but does not meet the combat-arms 70-point-per-event requirement. To reach 70 in that same row set, the listed performances are 64 push-ups, 2:20 plank and 10:45 run. These examples assume no waivers and the stated elevation/category. 12
Which Navy cardio alternatives are authorized?
The CO may authorize the stationary bike, treadmill, Concept-2 rower or 500-yard/450-meter swim as alternatives to the outdoor 1.5-mile run/walk. 13
Approval and equipment-specific procedures matter. Stationary-bike standards are calculated using the official PFA mobile application; do not create a calorie-to-point formula from the running table. A medically waived event must be handled under the waiver policy rather than treated as optional participation. 1
Does a PRT pass mean I passed the entire PFA?
No; the PFA also includes medical screening and the body composition assessment. 3
Ask the CFL about BCA status, approved waivers, special occupational standards and any Fitness Enhancement Program requirement. The August 2026 policy requires non-combat-arms Sailors scoring Probationary on an event to enter FEP until they meet its stated exit standard; do not confuse “passing PRT” with “no follow-up required.” 2
