PFA

Physical Fitness Assessment

For the Air Force, the PFA has two components: an aerobic event (2-mile run or HAMR shuttle run) and muscular fitness events (push-ups and sit-ups). Effective September 2026 the Air Force adds new scored components. For the Space Force, the equivalent is the HPA (Human Performance Assessment). In the Navy, PFA is the umbrella term covering the PRT (fitness events) and the BCA (body composition).
