President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition Reestablished with Presidential Fitness Test
Impact Score: 3.4
Timeline: Council terminates by July 31, 2027, unless extended
Summary: The executive order revokes EO 13824 and amends EO 13265 to rename the council and reestablish the Presidential Fitness Test, addressing declining youth fitness linked to economic, military, and academic strength. The President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition will advise the President and promote youth sports, school fitness, and nutrition. Federal agencies, including HHS and DOE, will support these efforts. This initiative highlights opportunities for Vanderbilt University to enhance physical education programs, foster partnerships, increase research, and engage community outreach. Potential risks include resource diversion and competition for funding.
Key Actions: Collaborate with the Council, align programs with federal standards, expand youth sports initiatives, pursue health research, and promote Vanderbilt’s involvement in national health efforts.
