Ammon News - President Donald Trump signed an executive order on July 31, reinstating the presidential fitness test.

The fitness test, which was overhauled under President Barack Obama, requires students to do physical challenges, including push-ups and running a mile.

"This is an important step in our mission to make America healthy again," Trump said at the signing, where he also reinstated the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Trump had with him several prominent athletes and sports figures, some of whom will be appointed to that council.

What is the presidential fitness test?
The presidential fitness test originally consisted of five events: The one-mile run, pull-ups or flexed-arm hang, sit-ups, shuttle run and the sit-and-reach. Right-angle push-ups were later incorporated.

It first became part of physical education classes under President Dwight Eisenhower in 1956, but sunsetted in the 2012-2013 school year under the Obama administration. The fitness test was dropped to shift focus from students' performance to overall health as they grow up.

The executive order signed by Trump said the administration is bringing back the test due to the high rates of obesity and chronic disease in the U.S.
