- Summary:
- On October 27, 2006, Secretary Leavitt announced plans for the development of Federal Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans to be issued in 2008. These Federal guidelines will serve as the benchmark and single, authoritative voice for providing science-based guidance on physical activity, fitness, and health for Americans. In preparation for the development by HHS of these guidelines, an important first step was to conduct a comprehensive review and analysis of the scientific literature on physical activity and health published since 1995. This task was assigned to the Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee (PAGAC). The intent of HHS is to develop physical activity recommendations for all Americans that will be tailored as necessary for specific subgroups of the population. This report is the result of work by the Committee, consultants to the Committee, and HHS support staff.
