ACFT Special Populations & Medical Accommodations 2

Question 1

A Soldier sustains an acute injury mid-ACFT. What is the grader's immediate first priority?

Accepted Answer

Ensure the Soldier's immediate safety and summon medical assistance

Answer

Soldier safety is always the first priority; graders must halt the test and summon medical assistance before any documentation or notifications.

Question 2

How does the ACFT scoring system account for older Soldiers, such as those aged 52–56?

Accepted Answer

Graders apply the age-specific scoring standards listed for that Soldier's age bracket

Answer

The ACFT uses age-normed scoring standards, so graders apply the bracket that matches the Soldier's actual age as indicated on the scorecard.

Question 3

A Soldier's profile prohibits running but does not restrict upper body or lifting. Which events must the Soldier still complete?

Accepted Answer

All events except the 2-Mile Run and Sprint-Drag-Carry, plus an approved alternate aerobic event

Answer

A running restriction means the Soldier completes all non-running events and substitutes an approved alternate aerobic event for the 2-Mile Run; the Sprint-Drag-Carry sprint lanes may also require profile review.

Question 4

What swim stroke(s) are authorized for the 1,000-meter alternate aerobic event?

Accepted Answer

Any stroke specified as authorized in the Soldier's physical profile

Answer

The authorized swim stroke(s) are defined in the Soldier's physical profile to ensure the movement is medically appropriate for that individual.

Question 5

A Soldier voluntarily withdraws from the ACFT after completing four events due to a new knee pain. How should the grader record the results?

Accepted Answer

Record scores for the four completed events and mark remaining events as 'withdrew'

Answer

Scores earned for completed events are recorded, and remaining events are marked as 'withdrew' per Army testing policy when a Soldier withdraws due to injury.
