flag Trump reinstates 2013-era fitness test for students amid debate over health and fairness.

flag President Donald Trump revived the Presidential Fitness Test in July 2025, reinstating a program discontinued in 2013 that measures students’ physical performance through activities like running, push-ups, and flexibility tests. flag The move, aimed at addressing rising childhood obesity and inactivity, is being led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and has sparked debate, with parents and experts expressing concerns about mental health, self-esteem, and fairness, especially for less athletic students. flag While supporters highlight the benefits of promoting physical wellness and accountability, critics urge a more inclusive approach that prioritizes enjoyment, accessibility, and overall well-being over competitive benchmarks. flag Implementation details remain under development.
