The intention of revising the fitness program was to design a science-based test that incorporates health-based standards across all fitness components. The Air Force’s goal in revising the program was to motivate Airmen to improve their health and fitness by rewarding incremental improvement and moving them from Unsat to Sat and from Sat to Excellent, thereby reducing their health risk both now and in the future.
