The old test required completion of three events: two minutes of push-ups, two minutes of sit-ups and a two-mile run.
The new APRT has five events:
* 60-yard shuttle run measures lower body muscular strength and anaerobic power, assessing speed, agility and coordination
* One-minute rower (variation of a sit-up) measures total body muscular endurance and assesses total body coordination
* Standing long jump measures lower body muscular strength and assesses lower body power
* One-minute push-up measures upper body muscular endurance and assesses trunk stability
* 1.5-mile run measures lower body muscular endurance and aerobic capacity and assesses speed stability
The new ACRT has five events:
* 400-meter run assesses upper body muscular endurance and anaerobic power, coordination, speed and stability
* Individual movement techniques assess upper and lower body muscular endurance, agility, balance, coordination, speed and stability
* Ammo-can shuttle sprint assesses total body muscular strength and endurance, agility, coordination, speed, stability and power
* Casualty drag assesses total body muscular strength and endurance, agility, coordination, speed, stability and power
* Agility sprint assesses lower body anaerobic power, speed and power
