..."Following the congressionally mandated pause, Army officials developed a version of the ACFT that would account for biological differences between men and women, Army Times reported.
One such change involved adding the plank as an alternative to the original hanging leg tuck option for measuring abdominal core stamina.
The current test includes the same events for participants, regardless of age or sex, scoring on the test is scaled to age and gender."
