President Trump will host several professional athletes at the White House on Thursday, including golfer Bryson DeChambeau, for an executive order signing that will reestablish the Presidential Fitness Test.
DeChambeau, who is friendly with Trump, will chair the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, the White House confirmed.
The order will direct the council to develop school-based programs that reward achievements in physical education.
It will also reestablish the Presidential Fitness Test, which was first created in 1966 and was administered in public middle schools and high schools. The test was replaced in 2013 with the Presidential Youth Fitness Program, which emphasized living an active and healthy lifestyle.
CNN first reported on the executive order.
