Physical health impacts
While the stated goal of the Presidential Fitness Test was focused on bettering the health of America's youth, present day critiques of the test have brought to light the misalignment between the promises and the results. Specifically, the Presidential Youth Fitness Program has focused their energy on shifting ideas away from the measurements of athletic performance and turning toward health-related fitness.[19] The Fitness Test was designed to capture best performance at core strength, aerobic capacity, upper-body strength, speed and agility, and flexibility.[14] However, the program did not provide Physical Education teachers with the structure to improve the performance of the children in their classes. The shift toward the Fitness Program is an attempt to capture the health-related fitness level of children, providing educators with the ability to improve specific areas of health.[20]Mental health impacts
In recent years, childhood obesity has been on a global wide rise.[21] Parents and doctors are very concerned by the potential effects of obesity on the future health and life quality of children.[22] The Presidential Fitness Test and ultimately gym class have been seen as the solution for this rise in obesity because it promotes more physical activity within school, and the hope is that it would promote that same trend outside of school. However, many of those children who have gone through these gym classes, and specifically The Presidential Fitness Test have provided a different perspective on the role and effectiveness of these efforts. A student who was interviewed for a study on fatphobia in physical education and attended school in the 70s and 80s stated that "I think [physical education] was just to let kids have healthier bodies... but I think even back then there was this fatphobic attitude. I think a large part of it was trying to eradicate the fatness of kids."[23] The other students that were interviewed for this study came to the consensus that they "recalled feelings of alienation, dread, and disembodiment." They also recalled that during gym class, oftentimes they felt "humiliated, vulnerable, or incompetent".[23]Studies have been done on programs such as Texas Fitness Now that have revealed that physical education as it exists in the United States is correlated with a rise in disciplinary issues in children and absences from school.[24] This study comes to the conclusion that physical programs allow for the harassment of children who do not measure up to the physical fitness standards, and that is why so many students skip their P.E. classes.
Rise in body image issues
Reports from recent years have shown that children as young as seven years old identify "fat students" at their schools as being lazier than other students, having fewer friends, and having worse relationships with their parents.[25] Several studies have shown that the dissatisfaction that young girls have with their bodies only increases as they grow older, and these concerns begin as young as 8 years old. One study reports that "the number of girls who wanted to be thinner increased from 40% in grade 3 to 79% in grade 6."[25] This same study reports that both young girls and young boys who are overweight express the desire to be thinner at much higher rates than their thin classmates. This increase in body insecurity has been reported in multiple studies and researchers are worried that this trend will raise the risk of children developing eating disorders and depression.[26]Effects on definitions of childhood
The Presidential Fitness Test began with the narrative that America had gone soft and needed to "toughen up" in order to prepare for a potential war.[27] Since then, this narrative has taken on new forms under different presidents. After 9/11, childhood obesity entered the public forum as a question of the "terror within" America, and the seeds of destruction of the society.[28] Many researchers believe that the driving force underneath the physical education programs of the United States have consisted of the drive to create the "perfect soldier".[27] Studies have been done on how this narrative has created a childhood that is focused only on creating the perfect soldier for times of threat. There is a consensus among researchers from these studies that this level of fear in citizens has created a culture of health tracking that relies on "greater surveillance and restriction of individual bodies." Teachers have argued that this approach to physical education has created unhealthy relationships with exercise and activity. Physical educators that were involved in the Texas Fitness claimed that the program failed because it did not take a holistic approach to children's health. It focused too much on attaining skills instead of exercising for the sake of exercise and these teachers emphasized that "research shows that people can get a good workout even when walking, and the more important thing is to create a healthy relationship with exercise that can last for decades."[27]Presidential Fitness Test - Wikipedia

He doesn’t shyt on them at all. Only thing he said was in passing to Shane Helms that the current roster of NXT women pick up on things a lot of the times quicker than the men.
