Students at Department of Defense Education Activity schools should start practicing their push-ups, pull-ups, planks, shuttle-run or one-mile run in preparation for the Presidential Fitness Test, which will soon be required at DoD schools.

During a White House ceremony marking the return of the Presidential Fitness Test awards, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday the test will be mandatory in the DoD’s 161 K-12 schools across 30 military installations.

Recalling his childhood striving to earn the top award level, Hegseth said he hoped the requirement would serve as a "pilot for all of American education."

"I remember it because it was something my country clearly elevated as important. We should be in shape; we should compete," Hegseth said.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order last July reinstating the test in public schools. On Tuesday, Trump signed a proclamation that reestablished the awards for those who meet age-level standards for three out of six exercises in the test.

美國戰爭部所屬學校的學生們應該開始練習伏地挺身、引體向上、平板支撐、折返跑或一英里長跑，以準備即將在國防部學校列為必修的「總統體能測驗」。

在白宮舉行的一場象徵總統體能測驗獎項回歸的儀式上，戰爭部長赫格塞斯週二表示，這項測驗將在分布於30個軍事設施的161所戰爭部K-12學校中強制執行。

赫格塞斯回憶童年時為了贏得最高榮譽獎項而奮鬥的經歷，他表示，希望這項要求能成為「全美教育的先導計畫」。

赫格塞斯說：「我對此記憶猶新，因為那是國家明確提升到重要高度的事情。我們應該保持體態，我們應該參與競爭。」

總統川普去年7月簽署了一項行政命令，在公立學校恢復這項測驗。週二川普簽署了一項公告，重新設立獎勵，頒發給測驗中，6項練習有3項達到年齡標準的學生。
