Official Science-Based Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans

This law requires the Department of Health to regularly publish evidence-based scientific recommendations on physical activity for all Americans. The goal is to provide updated medical knowledge, including specific advice for children and people with disabilities, to help citizens manage their health. Importantly, these guidelines are advisory and do not create mandatory legal standards.
Key points
The government must publish official, science-based physical activity recommendations at least every 10 years, starting by December 31, 2029.
The guidelines will include specific advice tailored for population subgroups, such as children or individuals with disabilities.
No fitness standard established under this Act is legally binding or mandatory for any individual citizen.
