( printed page 37993) Executive Order 14327 of July 31, 2025 President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, and the Reestablishment of the Presidential Fitness Test By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and to promote the economic, academic, and social benefits of youth sports, fitness, and nutrition, it is hereby ordered: Section 1 . Revocation. Executive Order 13824 of February 26, 2018 (President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition), is hereby revoked. Sec. 2 . Amendment . Executive Order 13265 of June 6, 2002 (President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports), is hereby amended as follows: (a) The title is revised to read as follows: “President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, and the Reestablishment of the Presidential Fitness Test”. (b) The preamble is revised to read as follows: “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and to establish the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, and to reestablish the Presidential Fitness Test, it is hereby ordered:”. (c) Sections 1 through 5 are revised to read as follows: ” Section 1 . Purpose. As the United States prepares to celebrate its semiquincentennial anniversary in 2026, we must address the threat to the vitality and longevity of our country that is posed by America's declining health and physical fitness. For far too long, the physical and mental health of the American people has been neglected. Rates of obesity, chronic disease, inactivity, and poor nutrition are at crisis levels, particularly among our children. These trends weaken our economy, military readiness, academic performance, and national morale. President Eisenhower recognized this issue when he created the President's Council on Youth Fitness in response to reports on the poor state of youth fitness in America. As President-elect, John F. Kennedy famously published an essay titled “The Soft American,” which outlined the imperative for improved health in order to maintain a strong and vital America. During my first term, I renamed the council the “President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition” and directed the development of a National Youth Sports Strategy, among other activities. My Administration has taken decisive action to reverse this health crisis. In the first month of my second term, I created the President's Make America Healthy Again Commission to restore the urgency of improving the health of Americans. Now, we build further. To advance this commitment, I hereby reestablish the Presidential Fitness Test, which shall be administered by the Secretary of Health and Human Services with the support of the Secretary of Education. With this order, I revitalize the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition as a cornerstone of our national health renewal. In 2026, we will celebrate the 250th anniversary of our great Nation, honor the 70th anniversary of the original President's Council on Youth Fitness, and showcase America's continued global dominance in sports. Over the next 3 years, America will host the Ryder Cup, the President's Cup, the FIFA World Cup, and the Olympic Games—the world's premiere sporting competitions. These events will provide inspiration for all generations of Americans. Sec. 2 . Policy . It is the policy of my Administration to: ( printed page 37994) (a) prioritize and expand children's participation in youth sports and active play; (b) promote the physical, mental, and civic benefits of daily movement, exercise, and good nutrition; and (c) engage every sector—public and private, civilian and military—in creating a national culture of strength, vitality, and excellence. Sec. 3 . President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition . (a) There is hereby established the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition (Council). (b) The Council shall consist of up to 30 members appointed by the President. Members shall serve for a term of 2 years, shall be eligible for reappointment, and may continue to serve after the expiration of their terms until the appointment of a successor. The President may designate one or more of the members as Chair or Vice Chair. (c) The President shall designate an Executive Director of the Council who shall manage day-to-day operations; serve as a liaison to the President on
