Male Situp Standards for 2024 - Male APFT Standards

The U.S. Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) includes a sit-up event to measure a soldier’s core strength and endurance. For male soldiers, the number of sit-ups required to pass depends on their age group. To perform the sit-up correctly, soldiers have 2 minutes to complete as many repetitions as possible, with knees bent at a 90-degree angle and fingers interlocked behind their head. A minimum of 60 points is required to pass the test, which is one part of the overall APFT, along with push-ups and a 2-mile run.

Benefits of Sit-Up Training

Sit-ups play a key role in building the core endurance necessary for daily military tasks. Regular training can help soldiers prepare for the APFT and improve their overall performance. Focusing on core strength through sit-ups ensures soldiers are physically ready for the demands of military service and increases their chances of passing the physical fitness test with confidence.
