    President Donald Trump has reestablished the Presidential Fitness Test for American children. This test, a staple in schools since 1966, was phased out during the Obama administration. Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to bring it back and reinvigorate a national sports council. The council includes former and current athletes and will address issues in college athletics. The fitness test will be administered by the health secretary and aims to promote health and athleticism among children. The move has received mixed reactions, with some experts emphasizing the need for comprehensive fitness programs.
