1. Executive Summary The Air Force Fitness Management System II (AFFMS II) was created and has been implemented to serve as a management tool for Air Force commanders at all levels to enable them to assess the physical fitness of personnel under their command. It provides them with the capability to identify those who require remedial conditioning, as well as those who excel and may warrant special recognition. AFFMS II is available to all Air Force components: Active Duty, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard. Access is via the Air Force Portal only. The primary objective is to track, monitor and report the individual and collective physical fitness level among Air Force personnel through more effective resource management tools. AFFMS II provides unit fitness program managers (UFPMs) with the capability to capture physical fitness information and update it so that it is available to commanders at all times. Rosters are available to identify members who are not current in their testing and who have yet to be tested. Rosters also can be produced to indicate those individuals who are due to be tested within selected date ranges. Reports are available to indicate UFPMs assigned to units and units that have no UFPMs assigned; personnel who have been exempted from one or more fitness criteria as a result of injury, illness, pregnancy, etc.; and the status of individual members. Metrics are available to provide score cards for different levels of command: unit, installation, MAJCOM, and Air Force. On an individual basis, AFFMS II allows all Air Force members to conduct physical fitness selfassessments by calculating their potential fitness scores and levels. 2. Introduction Purpose The purpose of the Air Force Fitness Management System II (AFFMS II) is to allow individuals to assess their own fitness scores and levels and to allow unit fitness program managers (UFPMs) to capture, update, and edit the results of physical fitness tests. It provides a means for commanders at all levels to examine statistical information on the fitness of personnel under their respective commands. Users will be able to access AFFMS II through the Internet only through their Air Force Portal accounts at all functional levels. 4
HQ AFPC/DPSIMC is the AFFMS application owner and program manager, and AFMSA/ SGRSD is the office of primary responsibility (OPR) for development and maintenance. Program Description The Air Force Fitness Management System II (AFFMS II) provides all Air Force personnel and the organizations that support them with a tool to monitor and track physical fitness. A fitness calculator, available to anyone with access to the Air Force Portal, allows the entry of six variables and computation of that person s fitness score according to the policies of the Air Force Surgeon General. The variables used in the calculation are age, gender, abdominal circumference, number of push-ups completed, number of sit-ups completed, and time/score on an aerobic assessment. Most personnel are expected to run a mile and a half for their aerobic activity. Some personnel may be exempt from abdominal circumference, sit-ups, pushups, or the aerobic assessment. The calculation takes take these exemptions into consideration, as well as when an alternative to running is used for the aerobic activity. A composite fitness score is calculated on a 0-100 point scale, based on the following maximum component values: The composite scores determine the fitness level categories: Fitness Level Categories Excellent Satisfactory Unsatisfactory Pass Fail EXEMPT When members are exempt from portions of the assessment, the denominator of the calculation is reduced by the maximum component value. For example, a member exempt from push-ups will have no points added for the push-up component. The total possible points are reduced by 10 points. AFFMS II provides rosters that list the personnel who are to be assessed. These rosters can be printed and used to record the results of the fitness assessment. The fitness program permits data entry for each of the factors contributing to the calculation of the fitness score. 5
AFFMS II retrieves demographic information from the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) to calculate the fitness assessment score. It uses MilPDS data to determine the roster listing of personnel to be assessed. Grouping personnel by active unit on the basis of their assigned Personnel Accounting Symbol (PAS) generates this roster. AFFMS II produces reports describing the number and percentage of Air Force personnel who have been assessed, the number and percentage of those who have not been assessed, and the number and percentage exempt by the type of exemption. It produces a report describing the number and percentage of those assessments categorized by their composite fitness scores. Composite fitness scores fall into three categories: Excellent, Satisfactory, and Unsatisfactory. This information is reportable by unit/squadron, installation, MAJCOM, and Air Force in aggregate. AFFMS II retains historical data for comparison purposes.
