## Summary

**Reestablishing the Presidential Fitness Test** would be paired with a new President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition to advise the President and promote national fitness, school challenges, and partnerships to boost youth health. - Students and schools: Would push to make the Presidential Fitness Test the primary assessment for a Presidential Fitness Award and allow existing Presidential Youth Fitness Program funds to help establish the test in U.S. schools. - Federal structure and support: Would create a President's Council of up to 30 members serving two-year terms who serve without pay but may get travel reimbursements, and it would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide funding and administrative support, subject to appropriations. - Public health, sports, and readiness: The Council would recommend school programs, community and athlete partnerships, bold youth fitness goals, and strategies to address childhood obesity and sedentary lifestyles framed as threats to future workforce and military readiness.
