Female trainees in the Secret Service are held to lower physical standards than male trainees.❕

All applicants to the Secret Service must pass a physical test that includes four elements: Pushups, sit-ups, chin-ups, and a 1.5 mile run. (The chart below refer to pushups. Males are on the left, and females are on the right.) Trainees receive points for their performance on each of those elements. 🔗

A 2009 study found that the average adult male is physically stronger than 99.9% of adult females.
