Navy Physical Readiness Test

The Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT) assesses sailors’ physical fitness through specific exercises and standards. Typically, it includes a timed plank hold, a running event (such as 1.5 miles), and various strength or flexibility exercises. The goals are to ensure personnel maintain good health, preparedness for duty, and the ability to perform physically demanding tasks. Passing the PRT is required for eligibility, advancement, and maintaining active status. Standards may vary by age and gender, with regular testing to monitor fitness levels throughout a sailor’s career.
