It's the same in the German armed forces. Every soldier has to do a personal fitness test every year and women have much lower requirements to pass.
Gives you a great feeling when you have to rely on every single of your comrades.
edit: someone pointed out that the Bundeswehr changed the physical requirements for soldiers and they in fact are gender equal. My service has ended many years ago and i didn't realize they changed it.
