Other results from the same survey are pending and include fitness data based on more objective measures including treadmill tests. Fakhouri said the nationally representative results provide useful information for initiatives that aim to increase kids' fitness, including the Let's Move anti-obesity campaign launched by first lady Michelle Obama in 2010.
