Podcasts about presidential fitness test

Get ready to break a sweat as Spunky and Wolfman dive into the wonderfully awkward world of physical education! In this episode, our hosts reached out to fellow pop culture podcasters to share their most memorable—and most cringe-worthy—gym class experiences from the 70s and 80s.From the brutal battlefields of dodgeball to the stick-wielding chaos of floor hockey, our guests don't hold back. You'll hear tales of rope climbing victories and defeats, the mysterious allure of parachute day, and those unforgettable moments when athletic prowess (or lack thereof) was on full display.But perhaps nothing sparks more nostalgia and confusion than the age-old question: What was the deal with mandatory square dancing in gym class? Our podcasting friends weigh in on this peculiar tradition that somehow found its way into gymnasiums across America.As if the gym class stories weren't enough entertainment, an unexpected Spotify game showdown erupts between Wham! and Wang Chung that nearly breaks the format entirely. Which 80s band reigns supreme? The competition gets heated as our guests battle it out with their musical knowledge.Whether you were the kid who dominated the Presidential Fitness Test or the one who strategically “forgot” your gym clothes, this episode will transport you back to those polyester-clad days of physical education. Dust off your sneakers and join us for a trip down memory lane that's equal parts hilarious and horrifying.*Warning: May cause flashbacks of climbing ropes and the lingering scent of gymnasium air.*Please, fill out this short survey:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eCzmh4jn6onsdfllOI_NencBhVWRRfvhWteLYfSbLxE/edit?usp=drivesdkSend us a voicemail:https://www.speakpipe.com/The70sVsThe80sSend us an email:The70svsthe80s@gmail.comChildren Of the 80shttps://open.spotify.com/show/4Oj8YAEgWuxixNOfMV7qOh?si=P2J2IUMZQw-BVtGDz9CfHwTotally 80s and 90s Recallhttps://linktr.ee/80s90srecall?utm_source=linktree_profile_share

Show Notes Episode 429: The President Called Me A Lard Ass This week Host Dave Bledsoe relives his youthful trauma when some vicious preteens inadvertently call him a long forgotten childhood nickname. (Fat Ass, it was Fat Ass!) On the show this week we take a look back at the annual childhood trauma that was the Presidential Fitness Test. (You will want a box of tissues for this one.) Along the way we discover why Dave never played team sports in school. (See the nickname: Fat Ass!) Then we dive right into the story of how The Depression made the Greatest Generation such sexy bitches.  From there we dig into how Cold War Paranoia led 10 US Presidents to force fat kids to embarass themselves in front of their peers.  (That's when the wedgies started!) We learn how Eisenhower and Kennedy believed the Baby Boomers were soft and unmanly, so they instituted a quasi military fitness program for grammar school kids.  Dave goes into excruciating detail what it was like to take the President's Fitness Test as a larger child. (Again, we point out, they called him “Fat Ass”) We explain how Arnold Schwarzenegger tried to convince kids it was cool to be mercilessly mocked by their more athletic classmates, and finally why Gen Z and Gen Alpha are no longer forced to endure this ritual humiliation. (Thanks Obama!) Our sponsor this week is Flintrock Chewable Yaba Gaba ZOOM Diet Pills for Kids and Dino Downers, to help you tubby little tykes lose that “baby fat”.  We open with a Kennedy era fitness test and close with TomeStyle, who would like to hear what your body has to say.   Show Theme: Hypnostate Prelude to Common Sense The Show on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheHell_Podcast The Show on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatthehellpodcast/ The Show on Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxP5ywpZ-O7qu_MFkLXQUQ Our Website: www.whatthehellpodcast.com Give us your money on Patreon  https://www.patreon.com/Whatthehellpodcast The Show Line: 347 687 9601 Closing Music: https://youtu.be/mW-Cn87IdNI?si=AXsgXGlpr8rOk4Rc We are a proud member of the Seltzer Kings Podcast Network! http://seltzerkings.com/ Citations Needed: Wikipedia Presidential Fitness Test https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Fitness_Test THE REPORT THAT SHOCKED THE PRESIDENT IT CAME FROM TWO PHYSICAL FITNESS EXPERTS WHO TESTED U.S. AND EUROPEAN YOUNGSTERS, AND IT SHOWS THAT THE U.S. IS RAPIDLY BECOMING THE SOFTEST NATION IN THE WORLD https://vault.si.com/vault/1955/08/15/the-report-that-shocked-the-president The sad, sad stories of the Presidential Fitness Test https://www.sbnation.com/2015/7/31/9038201/the-sad-sad-stories-of-the-presidential-fitness-test Tools Of The Trade: The Presidential Physical Fitness Test https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2014/11/24/365716113/tools-of-the-trade-the-presidential-physical-fitness-test Learn more about your ad choices.

In this Season 7 kickoff episode, Jeff and Michael discuss a wide array of headlines from the summer that have long-term impacts on higher education.Key Moments00:02:49 - Michael Horn Book Update00:05:45 - "This year is about a new normal."00:06:55 - "The Pac-12 Collapsed Overnight"00:11:37 - "…you cannot outspend reality."00:17:00 - "The nation's best known public universities have been on an unfettered spending spree."00:19:23 - "These places are just devouring money, offering everything to everyone all at once is unsustainable."00:21:49 - "policy should be focusing on student outcomes…"00:24:30 - "I don't think they're going to negatively impact those liberal arts programs that in my view offer very valuable skills and credentials in the labor market."00:26:34 - "I think that was all fair. And I actually was shocked. I thought the article did a really good job of depicting the purpose of secret societies in my mind, which is really to broaden your social experience."00:30:45 - "it was a very patriotic, pro-American, deeply affected campus that doesn't accord at all with some of the allegations that were printed in the article."00:32:49 - "A Return of the Presidential Fitness Test?"Relevant LinksAcademy for Innovative Higher Ed LeadershipColleges Spend Like There's No Tomorrow. ‘These Places Are Just Devouring Money.'Higher Ed Spending Problem Demands Attention No Matter Court's OpinionIt's time to rethink incentives for higher edMichael Horn's Testimony to CongressHow Ron DeSantis Joined the “Ruling Class” - and Turned Against ItSummaryThe ‘New Normal'Jeff Selingo brings up what people are referring to as the ‘New Normal.' He discusses the changes that higher education institutions, such as West Virginia University, are having to make to adapt to the changing landscape.The 'New Normal' he describes is characterized by financial challenges, changing demographics, and shifting priorities in higher education. Selingo uses the example of West Virginia University, which is planning to cut more than two dozen programs to close a projected $75 million deficit by 2028. This deficit was largely due to overly optimistic enrollment goals that were not met. The university initially planned to cut all its language programs, but later decided to retain Spanish and Chinese, while graduate programs and math programs are still at risk.Michael Horn brings up a related point regarding the demographics of college-aged students, particularly in the Northeast and Midwest, which are not favorable. This could be another aspect of the 'New Normal' that Selingo is referring to - universities having to adapt to changing demographics and potentially declining student populations. This example illustrates the 'New Normal' of universities having to make tough decisions and prioritize certain programs over others due to financial constraints and demographic shifts.Selingo suggests that this trend is likely to continue as universities navigate the challenges and changes brought about by the pandemic, demographic changes and other factors. This 'New Normal' will require universities to reassess their strategies and adapt to new realities in higher education.Conference RealignmentJeff explains how the PAC-12 athletic conference collapsed overnight while attempting to secure a new television deal. This resulted in the University of Washington and the University of Oregon leaving for the Big 10, while the University of Arizona, Arizona State, and the University of Utah moved to the Big-12.These moves were financially motivated as these universities needed funds to maintain their expenditures on coaches and facilities. Selingo suggests that the traditional linear television model, which presently provides significant funding, is on the decline. He also believes that streaming services like Apple could become a financial lifeline for universities by the end of the decade.Selingo also links these events to the 'New Normal' in higher education. The changes in the PAC-12 and other athletic conferences can be seen as part of this broader shift in the higher education landscape.Harvard's Opportunity Insights ProjectHarvard's Opportunity Insights Project included a study conducted by economist Raj Chetty using data compiled by Open Campus. The study used tax records to measure the wealth of students attending various colleges. The top 1% in the study referred to families with incomes of $660,000 a year and above, while the top 0.1% were significantly higher.The study found that at a group of 12 institutions, including the entire Ivy League, Stanford, Duke, MIT, and the University of Chicago, applicants from families in the top 1% were 34% more likely to gain admission than applicants with the same SAT and ACT scores from lower-income families. Those from the top 0.1% were more than twice as likely to be admitted.The study didn't just focus on elite universities, but also included 139 institutions in total. The results showed that the ultra-rich are not only enrolling at Ivy League schools but also at other institutions further down the ranking, such as Elon or Wake Forest.Public School SpendingMichael Horn discusses a Wall Street Journal article by Melissa Korn, Andrea Fuller, and Jennifer Forsyth, which detailed the spending spree of these institutions, stating "The nation's best known public universities have been on an unfettered spending spree."The University of Kentucky was cited as an example, having upgraded its campus to the tune of $805,000 a day for more than a decade. A graphic indicated that spending has risen much faster than enrollment from 2002 to 2022, leading to increased spending per student. At the median flagship university, spending rose 38% over these two decades.For every $1 lost in state support, the median school increased tuition and fee revenue by nearly $2.40. Michael argues that these universities, driven by prestige and revenue growth, lack economies of scale and tend to overspend. Horn also touches on the enrollment patterns of wealthy families, suggesting that attracting such families can have long-term implications for the universities' finances.Ron DeSantis at YaleMichael Horn shares about his experiences at Yale, especially in relation to the description given by Governor Ron DeSantis in a recent article, and his involvement in a secret society. Michael explains that the society serves as a way of opening up and introducing members to other students they would not have otherwise met, and presents an intimate way to broaden horizons. Horn mentions that these society members weren't his friends before, but many of them have since become close friends. He confirms that DKE, where DeSantis was a member, is known as the wilder fraternity on campus, mostly filled with athletes.Horn disagrees with DeSantis' depiction of Yale as a place of fervent anti-Americanism, stating that his experience was different. He acknowledges that Yale leans more politically liberal but also points out there are conservative enclaves, particularly in the history department. It's not hard to express one's opinion, even if it's not the majority view. Horn also discusses some of the social issues on campus during his time at Yale, including graduate students' efforts to organize as employees and concerns about Yale's clothing being made in sweatshops.He suggests that the university environment might have changed since his time, possibly aligning more with DeSantis' allegations. However, he also recalls a statement from Rick Levin who said, "Look, the Wall Street Journal is going to print what it prints about Yale. And they have this view that is so out of touch with the majority experience on campus that you just can't read too much into it." While Horn senses that the campus culture has changed, he advises caution when extrapolating too much from these articles, which tend to generalize and create caricatures. Lastly, Horn notes that the 9/11 attacks occurred after DeSantis' time at Yale, during his own senior year, which may have influenced the campus culture and experiences of students.Recommendation by Vivek Ramaswamy - The Presidential Fitness TestMichael and Jeff express skepticism about Vivek Ramaswamy's recommendation to bring back the Presidential Fitness Test as a section of the SAT. Selingo, after delving into the history of the test and its components, acknowledges the importance of physical activity for students but dismisses the idea of its relevance as a criterion for college admission. He suggests that this proposal shouldn't be given any more attention. Both Jeff and Michael seem to view the idea as a distraction from more important topics related to college admissions.

Drew Baye has been teaching and writing about exercise for over twenty years, during which time he has personally instructed hundreds of clients, including elderly people and people with physical disabilities, one-on-one through tens of thousands of workouts. He maintains the number one blog on high intensity strength training baye.com and has been featured in several books about exercise including The New Bodybuilding for Old-School Results by Ellington Darden, PhD, Heart Strong by Ken Hutchins, and The 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferris. CALIFORNIA SUSPENDING PHYSICAL EDUCATION. Antonia Noori Farzan of the Washington Post (February 7, 2020) wrote about pending state legislation in California that would drastically impact physical fitness instruction, assessment and guidance for students. “For generations of students, running a timed mile around the track as part of a mandatory fitness assessment has been a painful rite of passage. To some, it can be downright embarrassing and humiliating. But that could soon be changing in California, where officials have raised concerns that annual physical performance tests can lead to body-shaming and bullying, and that they discriminate against students who have disabilities or identify as non-binary." PRESIDENTIAL PHYSICAL FITNESS. In the 1950s, President Dwight D. Eisenhower was horrified to learn that European schoolchildren were acing a fitness test designed by competitive rock climbers, while the majority of American kids failed. The fear that the United States was falling behind on the world stage led to the introduction of the Presidential Fitness Test, which rewarded the students who could do the most pull-ups and run the fastest miles. In 2012, the Presidential Fitness Test was quietly replaced by a program that focused on students' overall health rather than arbitrary fitness goals. FITNESS. Drew defines fitness as, “Your ability to perform various physical tasks without fatigue and without injury.” He notes that strength training benefits muscles and also the heart – explaining the misconception that the heart is solely responsible for circulating blood throughout the body as many muscles are involved. EXERCISE. Per Drew, most people are unable to accurately define exercise. He defines it as, “A process by which the body performs work of a demanding nature in accordance with muscle and joint function for the purpose of creating tension and fatigue in the targeted muscles to stimulate improvement in muscular strength and size and through the stress in the muscles to place a demand on and to stimulate improvements in all those supporting systems.” NUTRITION. Ultimately, nutrition is a significant component of student fitness. Drew debunks the popular argument that kids of previous generations had similar diets as kids today – and they were more active decades ago. In fact, he notes that the higher level of activity kids had in the 1950s and 1960s decreased opportunities for them to consume extra calories – as they were out doing things and not sitting in front of a screen. STUDENT FITNESS IMPACT ON SAFETY. Drew identified 4 benefits of physical fitness specific to student safety (1) Students able to quickly get themselves to a safe location during a crisis: (2) Students being able to better recover from a physical injury; (3) If you're stronger, you are better able to aid other people (which is also part of the FEMA Teen CERT program); and (4) Students maintain sharpened thinking skills and decision-making during a crisis due to the connections between physical fitness and improved cognitive functioning. IS ELIMINATING PHYSICAL FITNESS DISCRIMINATING AGAINST STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES? Dr. Perrodin asserts that California's draconian measures to limit physical education are based on inaccurate perceptions that students with disabilities don't enjoy, or don't benefit, from physical education – an assumption he argues discriminates against students with disabilities and violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (Chapter 7, Addendum 2).

They discuss: - The Presidential Fitness Test and the structure of gym class and why they found it problematic for inspiring kids to enjoy physical activity - How the term athlete can be a turn off for a lot of kids (and later adults) who don't feel like they fit into that category - The importance of listening to your clients and being mindful not to assume they have a specific goal (e.g. weight loss).
