Shuttle run sprints involve sprinting back and forth between two markers about 25 meters apart. They could then choose between planks and sit-ups for the core strength measure.&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>The Air Force will also lighten requirements for strength portions of the exam:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"8\">\n<p><i><span>And for the final portion of the test airmen would be allowed to choose between push-ups and raised-hand push-ups. Instead of going up and down like a traditional push-up, the raised hand push-ups allow airmen to alternate lifting their hands up while in the push-up ready position.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>The Air Force\u2019s move drew mockery from social media users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro commented that \u201ccritical pace theory\u201d is taking over the military.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"5.4285714285714\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Critical pace theory taking over the military <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/B5AApbzjLq\">https:\/\/t.co\/B5AApbzjLq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benshapiro\/status\/1410232640981155844?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 30, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>\u201cTaking the joke \u2018Chair Force\u2019 to new heights,\u201d said Chalkboard Review founder Tony Kinnett.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"5.4054054054054\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Taking the joke &#8220;Chair Force&#8221; to new heights. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pYFQ2QTPzd\">https:\/\/t.co\/pYFQ2QTPzd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tony Kinnett (@TheTonus) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheTonus\/status\/1410236290629517314?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 30, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>One user compared future airmen to the obese, coddled humans from Pixar\u2019s \u201cWALL-E.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"4.9270072992701\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It&#8217;s 2050, and this is your Air Force <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/U3K129PGPs\">https:\/\/t.co\/U3K129PGPs<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/M38R6FBGEE\">pic.twitter.com\/M38R6FBGEE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Eric Richards (@EricRichards22) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EricRichards22\/status\/1410234652468649986?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 30, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>\u201cDoes the Air Force tuck them in bed at night with their teddy bears??\u201d asked another commenter.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"5.986013986014\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Does the Air Force tuck them in bed at night with their teddy bears?? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xBaoWjTlwa\">https:\/\/t.co\/xBaoWjTlwa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jerry L.
