Donald Trump has vowed to make America healthy again.

The US president reintroduced the presidential fitness test into the country’s schools.

The test, which was first implemented amid the backdrop of the Cold War in the 1950s and eventually phased out in 2012, consists of basic exercises to measure the overall fitness and agility of children up to the age of 17.

Children are required to run, perform situps, pullups or pushups and a sit-and-reach exercise - with their performance compared against their peers.

The prestigious presidential fitness award was bestowed on children who managed to score in the top fifteen per cent across all five activities for their gender and age.
