Presidential Fitness Test returns to schools

Original: Will the return of the Presidential Fitness Test improve kids' physical activity levels?

The Presidential Fitness Test, a long-running program that had been phased out of American schools, is set to return, and ABC News is asking whether it will actually get children moving more. The test, which once measured students' performance in activities like running, push-ups and sit-ups, has long been debated by educators over whether it motivates kids or discourages those who struggle physically.

Why now: News that the test is being brought back has reignited debate over the best way to promote youth fitness in schools.
