The Air Force is likely to up its fitness standards, including the addition of a 2-mile run and twice-yearly testing, Air Force officials confirmed to Task & Purpose.
空军可能会提高其健身标准，包括增加2英里的跑步和每年两次测试。
“Yes, PT changes are coming,” Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force David Flosi wrote in a post on that was widely distributed to Air Force leaders on Microsoft Teams last Thursday. Officials in Flosi’s office provided Task & Purpose with a copy of the note, part of which first circulated on social media, including the Air Force amn/nco/snco Facebook group.
“是的，PT的变化即将到来，”空军戴维·弗洛西（David Flosi）的首席中士在上周四在微软团队的空军领导人中广泛分发。Flosi办公室的官员提供了任务和目的，并提供了一份纸币的副本，其中一部分首次在社交媒体上分发，包括空军AMN/NCO/SNCO Facebook集团。
Though officials said changes to the current Air Force standards are “pre-decisional,” Flosi wrote that he expected a longer run, a return to a new version of “tape test” measurements, and for PT tests to be administered twice each year.
尽管官员们说，当前空军标准的变化是“审议前”，但Flosi写道，他预计会更长的运行，重返新版本的“磁带测试”测量值，并且每年将对PT测试进行两次管理。
Flosi sent the note last Thursday, an official said, as a call for general readiness as Air Force personnel were scrambling into sudden deployments as the U.S. considered joining Israeli airstrikes against Iran.
一位官员说，弗洛西（Flosi）上周四发出了票据，因为空军人员正在突然部署，因为美国考虑加入以色列对伊朗的空袭。
“These Airmen join many thousands already on missions around the world, from embedded SOF in all COCOMs, to our institutional Airmen building, training and educating the force, to the Minuteman III force on alert and ready to go right now,” Flosi wrote. “Any day could be the day.”
弗洛西写道：“这些飞行员已经加入了数千名在世界各地的任务，从嵌入所有Coocoms中的SOF到我们的机构飞行员大楼，培训和教育部队，再到民兵III III部队的警报，现在就可以立即开始。”“任何一天都可能是一天。”
‘The day,’ it turned out, was two days later, as B-2’s led strikes on Iranian nuclear sites as part of Operation Midnight Hammer.
事实证明，“这一天是两天后，因为B-2在午夜锤子行动的一部分中，B-2在伊朗核场所进行了罢工。
An Air Force spokesperson said no details would be available on specific new requirements until they are finalized.
空军发言人说，直到最终确定，都无法提供有关特定新要求的详细信息。
“The Air Force is finalizing updates to its Physical Fitness Assessment following a comprehensive ten-month review,” the spokesperson said in an emailed statement. “Updates to the program will be formally released once the guidance is finalized.”
发言人在一封电子邮件声明中说：“在经过十个月的全面评论之后，空军正在最终确定其身体健康评估的最新信息。”“一旦确定指南，该程序的更新将正式发布。”
Air Force’s changing PT standards
空军的变化PT标准
The Air Force’s current PT test includes a 1.5-mile run, push-ups and a core abdominal event, and is administered annually. The Air Force’s tests have moved toward more traditional fitness events like runs and calisthenics in recent years, after several decades of less rigorous tests.
空军当前的PT测试包括1.5英里的跑步，俯卧撑和核心腹部事件，每年进行一次管理。经过数十年的严格测试，空军的测试近年来迈向了更传统的健身活动，例如跑步和健美操。
In the 1940s, the Air Force adopted a plan of “aviation calisthenics,” according to a 2023 history of Air Force fitness compiled by the service. That workout program included sit-ups, pull-ups, and a 300-yard shuttle run. In the early 1960s, the service adopted the “Five Basic Exercises” program, which was a tiered series of different exercises, from beginner level to advanced, ranging from arm circles and push-ups to ballet-like split-jumps.
根据该部门汇编的2023年空军健身史，在1940年代，空军采用了“航空卫生学”计划。该锻炼计划包括仰卧起坐，上拉和300码的班车。在1960年代初期，该服务采用了“五个基本练习”计划，该计划是一系列分层的不同练习，从初学者到高级，从手臂圈和俯卧撑到类似芭蕾舞的分式跳跃。
In 1969, the Air Force released the Aerobics Physical Fitness Program, which included the first mandatory 1.5-mile run. The program’s name was coined an Air Force flight surgeon at Wilford Hall in San Antonio, Texas, launching the term that would become ubiquitous during the fitness surges of the 1970s and 1980s.
1969年，空军发布了有氧运动健身计划，其中包括首次强制性1.5英里跑步。该计划的名称是在得克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市的威尔福德音乐厅（Wilford Hall）创造的一名空军飞行外科医生，该术语在1970年代和1980年代的健身激增期间将变得无处不在。
The Air Force used only a 1.5-mile run as its annual test through the 1980s, according to a RAND study of Air Force fitness requirements published in 2021. From 1992 to 2003, the Air Force used a “cycle ergometer,” or stationary bike, to assess fitness across the force, but that test was scrapped in 2004 when Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. John P. Jumper decreed it “was not consistent with the growing demands of our warrior culture.”

The 1.5-mile run returned in 2004, adding push-ups and sit-ups.
1.5英里的跑步于2004年返回，增加了俯卧撑和仰卧起坐。

The “tape test” has been an on-again/off-again part of Air Force body composition standards for close to a decade. A test that measured only waist circumference was dropped in 2020, but the new version, Flosi said, may be based on height-to-waist ratios.
“磁带测试”已成为空军车身组成标准的一个越来越多的部分。一项仅测量腰围的测试在2020年被删除，但Flosi说，新版本可能基于身高比率的比率。
A 2016 National Institute of Health study found that the height-to-waist ratio “is a more sensitive universal screening tool than [body mass index] to detect health risks” across gender and a wide range of ages. Generally, the NIH found, a ratio of 0.5, in which a person’s waist measure is one-half of their height or less, “can be used in different sex and ethnic groups and is generally accepted as a universal cutoff for central obesity in children (aged ≥6 years) and adults.”
一项2016年国家健康研究所的一项研究发现，在性别和广泛的年龄范围内，高度与费用比率“比[体重指数]检测健康风险更敏感的通用筛查工具。通常，NIH发现的比率为0.5，其中一个人的腰部度量是其身高或更少的一半，“可以在不同的性别和种族中使用，并且通常被接受为儿童（年龄≥6岁）和成人的中枢性肥胖症的普遍截止。”
PT tests across the military
PT对军队进行了测试
Fitness tests and standards have long been a central part of military identity, and leaders of every service often tweak or even overhaul them.
健身测试和标准长期以来一直是军事身份的核心部分，每项服务的领导者经常调整甚至大修。
The Army spent close to a decade rolling out it’s 6-event Army Combat Fitness Test, then revised it earlier this year — rebranding as the Army Fitness Test — by removing an overhead throw event, universally referred to as the “yeet.”
陆军花了近十年的时间推出了6个事件的陆军战斗健身测试，然后通过删除了一场高架投掷事件（普遍称为“ Yeet”），于今年早些时候对其进行了修改 - 将其更名为陆军健身测试。
The Marine Corps’s first fitness test in the 1950s was almost laughably easy by current standards, with a passing score achievable with three chin-ups, 25 sit-ups, and just 21 push-ups. Today, Marines take both a (much harder) traditional fitness test with a 3-mile run and strength events, and the grueling Marine Combat Fitness Test, a monster-mash-style functional fitness test that includes buddy carries and lifting sand-filled ammo cans.
按照目前的标准，海军陆战队在1950年代进行的首次健身测试几乎是可笑的，可以通过三个隆起，25次仰卧起坐和21个俯卧撑获得传球得分。如今，海军陆战队对3英里的跑步和力量事件进行了（更加困难的）传统健身测试，以及艰苦的海洋战斗健身测试，这是一种怪物摩擦风格的功能健身测试，其中包括好友携带和举起填充沙子弹药罐。
The service-wide fitness test most similar to the Air Force’s is the Navy Physical Readiness Test, which includes a 1.5-mile run and traditional calisthenics. But perhaps appropriately, one of its alternative events sets it apart from any of the other three services.
与空军最相似的服务范围内的健身测试是海军物理准备测试，其中包括1.5英里的跑步和传统的健美操。但是也许适当地，其替代事件之一将其与其他三个服务中的任何一项区分开来。
Unlike airmen, soldiers, or Marines, sailors nursing injuries that keep them from running can choose to swim.
与飞行员，士兵或海军陆战队不同，防止他们跑步的水手受伤可以选择游泳。
