The current U.S. Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT) measures aerobic fitness and muscular endurance via a 1 1/2 mile run and curl-up/push-up tests, respectively. Nine new modalities were recommended to either replace or supplement the current PRT. Personnel and civilians (N = 179) were recruited from a local Navy base and participated in all modalities (duplicate if possible) over 4 weeks following familiarization sessions. Subjects performed single-leg plank, single-leg wall squat, cadence push-ups, leg/hip dynamometer, standing long jump, and pro-agility test. Cardiovascular modalities were also performed via the 300-yard shuttle, 2-km row, and 5-km bike. Performance in the modalities was correlated to the subjects' existing PRT scores as well as within the new modalities. Although most modalities could not be concretely recommended, the plank and wall squat were eliminated from consideration because of poor reliability scores. The strongest correlation existed between the standing long jump and pro-agility test for the entire sample. Correlation scores were also analyzed by gender. The cardiovascular modalities did not have strong enough scores to elicit a recommendation to replace the 1 1/2 mile run, but future considerations for similar testing would be to collect scores for the existing modalities in addition to the proposed modalities.
当前美国海军体能准备测试（PRT）分别通过1.5英里跑和仰卧起坐/俯卧撑测试来衡量有氧适能和肌肉耐力。推荐了九种新的测试方式以替代或补充当前的PRT。从当地海军基地招募了人员和平民（N = 179），在经过熟悉训练后，他们在4周内参与了所有测试方式（如有可能重复进行）。受试者进行了单腿平板支撑、单腿靠墙深蹲、节奏俯卧撑、腿部/臀部测力计测试、立定跳远和敏捷性测试。心血管测试方式还包括300码穿梭跑、2公里划船和5公里骑行。各测试方式的表现与受试者现有的PRT分数以及新测试方式之间的分数相关。尽管大多数测试方式无法得到明确推荐，但由于可靠性分数较低，平板支撑和靠墙深蹲被排除在考虑范围之外。整个样本中立定跳远和敏捷性测试之间的相关性最强。还按性别分析了相关分数。心血管测试方式的分数不够高，不足以推荐用其替代1.5英里跑，但未来类似测试的考虑方向是除了提议的测试方式外，还要收集现有测试方式的分数。
