It covers physical education, physical and aerobic fitness testing, body composition assessments, temporary adjustments, and remediation transition programs. It requires cadets to complete specified PE hours, maintain a cumulative PEA of at least 2.00, pass the USAF PFA, and participate in approved competitive athletics.
Applies to: USAFA cadets are required to meet all USAFA body composition and athletic graduation standards.
To fulfill the athletic graduation requirements, a cadet must satisfactorily complete the Physical Education (PE) curriculum (5.0 semester hours), earn a cumulative physical education average (PEA) of at least 2.00, pass the USAF PFA, and participate in approved competitive athletics (intramural, club or intercollegiate) in each semester of residency. (paragraph 3)
Cumulative PEA is computed as 50% cumulative PFT + 15% cumulative AFT + 35% cumulative PE grades. (paragraph 3)
After seven semesters, as long as a cadet has earned at least a 2.00 cumulative PEA, they are excused from the PFT and AFT in their eighth semester. (paragraph 3)
The PERC may recommend administrative separation to USAFA/AD or direct eighth semester PFT and AFT tests. (paragraph 3)
I acknowledge understanding the remediation program includes placement in the weight management program by my AOC; nutrition education and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing provided by the Human Performance Lab; and potential enrollment in an appropriate Athletic Rehabilitation Program (Physical Education Review Committee oversight).
