For a sailor to be evaluated for their overall PRT score, which components are considered?

The overall PRT (Physical Readiness Test) score for a sailor includes multiple components designed to assess different aspects of physical fitness. These components are the Body Composition Assessment (BCA), push-ups, curl-ups, and a timed run.

The BCA evaluates the sailor's body composition to ensure they meet weight and fitness standards, which is an important aspect of overall health. Push-ups and curl-ups assess muscular strength and endurance, while the timed run evaluates cardiovascular fitness and endurance. By including all these elements in the evaluation, the PRT provides a comprehensive look at a sailor's physical readiness, which is essential for operational effectiveness in the Navy.

This multifaceted approach ensures that all sailors maintain a balanced level of fitness, as it recognizes that different physical capabilities are integral to overall performance. As such, the inclusion of all four components is crucial for an accurate assessment of a sailor's fitness level.
