What is the age range for Navy personnel included in the PRT standards?

The correct age range for Navy personnel included in the Physical Readiness Test (PRT) standards is 17 to 39 years old. This range is established to ensure that all personnel are in optimal physical condition relative to their age group, allowing for a fair assessment of fitness capabilities across the various age demographics within the Navy.

The inclusion of ages starting at 17 reflects the age at which individuals can officially enlist in the Navy, while capping the range at 39 ensures that younger and middle-aged personnel are assessed using benchmarks that are appropriate to their physical development and performance potential.

Understanding this age range is crucial for Command Fitness Leaders as they ensure that personnel are meeting the established fitness standards while receiving proper training and preparation for the test. This helps maintain a ready and fit force, which is essential for Navy operations.
