22.7. Fitness Assessment Composite Score

Minimum Scores. The minimum component scores are established to ensure members test adequately in all components. Meeting the minimum score in each of the components does not constitute the minimum points required to earn a passing fitness assessment score. Scoring the minimum component values in all components will not generate enough points to earn a composite score of 75 or greater. Age and gender-specific fitness assessment score charts are provided in myFSS. Note: When reviewing the charts, make note of both the minimum and maximum requirements associated with specific categories to assess progress and tailor training to strive for higher scores in each of the components for overall fitness assessment results and personal fitness levels.
