* Male and female Soldiers who fall below the minimum weights shown in table 3–1 will be referred for immediate medical evaluation. 1 Height will be measured in stocking feet (without shoes), standing on a flat surface with the chin parallel to the floor. The body will be straight but not rigid, similar to the position of attention. The measurement will be rounded to the nearest inch with the following guidelines: If the height fraction is less than 1/2 inch, round down to the nearest whole number in inches; if the height fraction is 1/2 inch or greater, round up to the next highest whole number in inches.
2 Weight will be measured and recorded to the nearest pound within the following guidelines: If the weight fraction is less than 1/2 pound, round down to the nearest pound; if the weight fraction is 1/2 pound or greater, round up to the next highest pound. 3 All measurements will be in a standard PT uniform (gym shorts and T-shirt, without shoes). 4 If the circumstances preclude weighing Soldiers during the APFT, they will be weighed within 30 days of the APFT. 5 Add 6 pounds per inch for males over 80 inches and 5 pounds for females for each inch over 80 inches. b.
Commanders and supervisors will provide educational and other motivational programs to encourage personnel to attain and maintain proper weight (body fat) standards. Such programs will include— (1) Nutrition education sessions conducted by qualified health care personnel. These sessions are required for all Soldiers enrolled in a weight control program. (2) Exercise programs, even though minimum APFT standards are achieved. c. Maximum allowable percent body fat standards are shown in table 3–2. However, all personnel are encouraged to achieve the more stringent Department of Defense goal, which is 18 percent body fat for males and 26 percent body fat for females.
Table 3–2 Maximum allowable percent body fat standards Age Group: 17–20 Male (% body fat): 20% Female (% body fat): 30% Age Group: 21–27 Male (% body fat): 22% Female (% body fat): 32% Age Group: 28–39 Male (% body fat): 24% Female (% body fat): 34% 4 AR 600–9 • 27 November 2006
