Trump to revive Presidential Fitness Test [View all]
The Presidential Fitness Test is coming back.
President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Thursday afternoon reinstating the national fitness assessment implemented in public schools from 1956 until 2013, a White House official told NBC News.
The role of administering the test will fall to Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been vocal in his concern about childhood obesity and whose “Make America Healthy Again” report in February attributed the issue, in part, to sedentary lifestyles.
The White House official said Trump aims to address Americans’ declining health and physical fitness, including “crisis levels” of obesity, chronic disease, inactivity and poor nutrition.
“President Trump wants every young American to have the opportunity to emphasize healthy, active lifestyles — creating a culture of strength and excellence for years to come," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
