Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee
The Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee was formed in June 2007.
The purpose of the committee is to review
existing scientific literature to identify where there is sufficient
evidence to develop a comprehensive set of specific physical activity
recommendations. The Committee will prepare a report to the Secretary
that documents scientific background and rationale for the 2008 edition
of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
The final scheduled meeting of the Physical Activity Guidelines
Advisory Committee was held on February 28 and 29, 2008 at the Hubert H.
Humphrey Building, 200 Independence Avenue, SW; Washington, D.C., 20201.
