THE SELECTED ATHLETE PROGRAM (SAP) APFT

1. The SAP APFT consists of push-ups (2 minutes), sit-ups (2 minutes), and a 2-mile run (2MR), no different from the standard Army APFT. However, 2MR performance scales have been adjusted.

2. The test events are performed in the following sequence: push-ups, sit-ups, 2MR.

3. The test must be completed within one hour after beginning the initial test event. A minimum rest period of 10 minutes must separate test events.

4. After extensive scientific research, the 2MR scale has been adjusted for SAP athletes. Based up an athlete’s weight and 2MR results, the points awarded for the run event will be adjusted accordingly, both for men and women.

5. Cadets will be weighed by prior to executing the APFT and the weight is recorded on the APFT scorecard. First Class Cadets will be weighted by a DPE Instructor, while the under three classes are weighed by those administering the test.

6. How a SAP athlete’s score is computed and inputted into the cadet record system is provided in the “SAP APFT Input Example” document.
