Trump signs executive order to bring back presidential fitness test in schools
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to reinstate the presidential fitness test for schoolchildren in the United States. The test, which includes a one-mile run, sit-ups, pull-ups, and push-ups, was previously in place for decades but was suspended 12 years ago to shift the focus towards promoting healthy lifestyles rather than competition. The executive order will also re-establish the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. Trump made the announcement at a press event, where he praised famous athletes for their achievements and physiques. The move is aimed at encouraging physical fitness and healthy habits among American youth. However, the decision has raised concerns about the potential for increased pressure and competition among students, rather than a focus on overall well-being.
