President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, and the Reestablishment of the Presidential Fitness Test
AI Summary:
This regulation establishes and revitalizes the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, and reestablishes the Presidential Fitness Test. The executive order addresses the perceived national health crisis, particularly focusing on declining physical fitness among children. The council will consist of up to 30 members appointed by the President, serving two-year terms, and will be led by an Executive Director. The council's key functions include advising the President on strategies to promote youth sports, physical fitness, and nutrition, developing fitness challenges and school-based programs, expanding sports participation opportunities, and addressing health concerns that potentially impact national security and workforce readiness. The order explicitly aims to create a national culture of strength and vitality by engaging public and private sectors, and by promoting the physical, mental, and civic benefits of exercise and good nutrition. The council is initially established for a two-year period and will work to support national health goals, coinciding with the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026.
