Trump brings back Presidential Fitness Test for public schools

President Donald Trump restored the presidential fitness test at public schools on Thursday.

Firstly, in the 1950s, in the assessment established to measure the health and athletics of young people, settlements included settlements, push-ups, pull-ups and seating and accessing tests. It also contained a competitive component that recognized the best performances with the Presidential Fitness Award.

The test was stopped in 2012 and changed with a fitness program during the period of Barack Obama.

Bernd Debusmann from the BBC takes a look at the history of the test and what Americans say about it.
