Physical Fitness is a constant element in succeeding at Annapolis, and is tested as part of the Application process.

Your application will ask you to list all of your sports, school and club, detailing participation levels and leadership.  Varsity sports are given very high marks.

Independant of your sports participation, you will have a separate exam that must be submitted, and will include height-weight and percent body fat.

The Fitness exam part of the Application is called the CFA or Candidate Fitness Assessment.

  The parts of the CFA include...

    - Mile Run
    - Push Ups
    - Pull Ups/ Flexed Arm Hang (women)
    - Sit Ups
    - Shuttle Run
    - Basketball Throw

As with all things Military, there is a very specific way each action is to be executed including sequence and time allowed for each part and rest between events.

The same exam is used for

US NAVAL ACADEMY
US MILITARY ACADEMY
US MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY
US AIR FORCE ACADEMY

If you are applying to more than one Federal Service Academy, you only have to submit one set of scores for the Academies listed above.
