The Federal Bureau of Investigations abandoned physical requirements since 1999. The agency had requirements in place from 1980 to 1999 but for some reason, perhaps due to 9/11, physical fitness performance guidelines fell by the wayside. This changed in 2015 when FBI Director James Comey reintroduced minimum physical requirements. All Special Agents must meet the following physical requirements.
Men, age 20-29, must complete:
-
38 sit-ups in a minute
-
29 pushups without stopping.
-
A 300-meter sprint in 59 seconds
-
A 1.5 mile run in 12:29
Women, ages 20-29, must complete:
- 32 sit-ups in a minute
- 15 pushups without stopping.
- A 300-meter sprint in 71 seconds
- A 1.5 mile run in 15:05
-
Less is required of agents as they age.
Men, ages 50-59, must complete
- 24 sit-ups in a minute
- 13 pushups without stopping.
- A 300-meter sprint in 83.2 seconds
- A 1.5 mile run in 15:14
Women, ages 50-59, must complete
- 14 sit-ups in a minute
- 5 pushups without stopping.
- A 300-meter sprint in 113.2 seconds
- A 1.5 mile run in 19.10
