Presidential fitness test returns to Iowa schools
Original: Picking up the pace: The presidential fitness test is back in Iowa schools
Iowa schools are reinstating the presidential fitness test, bringing back the long-running program of running, push-ups, sit-ups and flexibility assessments for students. Supporters say it promotes physical activity and measurable fitness goals for children at a time when youth inactivity is a concern. The revival has drawn attention as schools reintroduce the classic gym-class tradition and families recall their own experiences with it.
Why now: Reviving a nostalgic school fitness program touches memories and current debates about children's physical health.
