USSF HPA

Where do these numbers come from? Are they official?

The rules (60/20/20 structure, categories, exemption math, walk standards) are from SPFMAN 36-2905, which is public. The per-age point tables are not public — the Space Force distributes them internally and scores officially through myFitness. This calculator transcribes a widely circulated unofficial mirror of those tables ("USSF HPA Scoring, as of 4 February 2026"). Treat every point value here as unofficial. If myFitness disagrees with this page, myFitness is right.

How is the HPA scored?

Composite 0–100 = Cardio (max 60) + Muscular Strength (max 20) + Muscular Endurance (max 20). Categories: Fit to Fight 90–100, Health Maintenance 75–89.9, Health Concern below 75. Passing requires a composite of 75+ and meeting the minimum point value in every component — miss any component minimum (the red rows) and the HPA is a Health Concern regardless of total.

How is the HPA different from the Air Force PT test (PFRA)?

The Air Force PFRA weights its events 60 (cardio) / 20 / 20 too, but scores body composition separately and uses different events and charts. The Space Force HPA has its own tables (this page), offers the 20m HAMR as a cardio alternative to the 2-mile run (the Air Force runs 1.5 miles), and its body composition assessment (waist-to-height ratio) is not part of the composite score at all. Air Force calculators will not give you a correct HPA score.

Can I take the HAMR every time instead of running?

No. Per SPFMAN 36-2905 ¶3.2.3, the 2-mile run must be used for at least one of your two HPAs each year. The HAMR (20-meter High Aerobic Multi-shuttle Run) can cover the other, and is also the directed fallback when weather prevents outdoor testing and no indoor track exists.

What about body composition — isn't there a waist measurement?

Yes, but it is not a scored HPA component. The Body Composition Assessment uses waist-to-height ratio (WHtR = waist ÷ height, truncated to two decimals): under 0.55 meets the standard; 0.55 or above triggers a Tier-2 body-fat assessment (limits: 26.0% male / 36.0% female). It never adds to or subtracts from your 0–100 composite, so this calculator leaves it out.

How do exemptions work (the EXEMPT buttons)?

Members with a DAF Form 469 exempting a component get a composite calculated on assessed components only (SPFMAN ¶3.7.8): points earned ÷ points possible × 100. Example from the manual: 50/60 cardio + 15/20 strength, endurance exempt → 65 ÷ 80 = 81.25. Note that a partial HPA is categorized only as Passing (75+) or Health Concern — Fit to Fight and Health Maintenance require assessing all components.

What is the 2-kilometer walk?

A pass/fail cardio assessment for members medically prohibited from both the run and the HAMR (SPFMAN ¶3.7.2). It earns no points — passing it scores the HPA as if cardio were exempt. Sea-level maximum times (Table 3.1): Male — under 30: 16:16, 30–39: 16:18, 40–49: 16:23, 50–59: 16:40, 60+: 16:58. Female — under 30: 17:22, 30–39: 17:28, 40–49: 17:49, 50–59: 18:11, 60+: 18:53. To model it here, toggle the Cardio component to EXEMPT.

What happened to the wearables / Continuous Fitness Assessment (CFA)?

The Space Force ran a wearable-based Continuous Fitness Assessment study (Garmin/DHA "digital dogtag") that exempted participants from the annual PT test. That research effort is not the test of record — its testing exemption ended 1 January 2026, and Guardians now take the HPA on the standard schedule while CFA research continues separately.

Does this handle altitude adjustments?

Not yet. SPFMAN 36-2905 Attachment 3 publishes altitude time corrections for the 2-mile run, 2-km walk, and HAMR at test locations 5,250 ft and above. Those correction charts are not implemented here — if you test at altitude, apply Attachment 3 to your raw time before entering it.

Which age bracket am I in?

The tables use nine brackets per sex: Under 25, 25–29, 30–34, 35–39, 40–44, 45–49, 50–54, 55–59, and Above 60. This calculator applies the Above-60 chart to ages 60 and up. Scoring uses your age on the day you test.

A couple of values look odd. Known quirks?

Three oddities exist in the mirrored charts and are reproduced here as printed rather than "corrected": (1) Males under 25, 2-mile run — the 38-point row is 19:36, breaking the otherwise uniform 19-second spacing; (2) Females 25–29, push-ups — the bottom row (14 reps = 1.0) is missing its minimum asterisk, though it is clearly the minimum; (3) Females 35–39, plank — the chart shows a 10.0-point row with a blank time below the starred 0:45 minimum (10.3), so this calculator treats 0:45 as that bracket's plank minimum.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The entire calculator is a single self-contained page — no servers, no API calls. Once loaded, it runs entirely on your device. Save it to your phone’s home screen to launch it like an app — see the “Add to Your Phone’s Home Screen” section below.

Where's the data stored?

Locally, in your browser's storage. Your sex, age, and event entries persist between sessions on the same device. Nothing is sent anywhere. Clearing your browser data will reset it.
