Looks like at least a 6 month trial before the APRT gets officially implemented.
Here's an interesting quote on how the 1 min. of push ups will go down:
"During the two minutes of push-ups of the APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test) we currently do, I do between 60 to 70. Today, (at the Pentagon demo) I did about 29 push-ups in one minute. It sounds like a big difference but for me, the biggest difference is the fact that I can't move my hands and use different muscle groups. Also, not being able to take a break, or sag or bow my back definitely makes a big difference."
Push ups will be very different with no rest or < 2 seconds as posted above, and mainly triceps targeted as hands are required to be in close and cannot move. Should be fun. Here's a video demonstration of all the APRT events:
