Support the Development of the Physical Activity Guidelines Midcourse Report on Older Adults

December 3, 2021

The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans provides evidence-based advice on how physical activity can help promote health and reduce the risk of chronic disease. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) intends to release a midcourse report in 2023 focused on strategies to increase physical activity among older adults. 



HHS is seeking public input in two ways: 

  1. Nominations to serve on a subcommittee of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition, which will be convened to conduct a literature review and summarize findings to support the development of the report; and 
  2. Written comments on how this report can best support decision makers, health professionals, educators, and others working to promote or implement physical activity among older adults.

Nominations and written comments will be accepted until 11:59PM E.T. on December 8, 2021.
