About the Committee
Formed in June 2007, the Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee reviewed
existing scientific literature to identify sufficient evidence to develop a comprehensive
set of specific physical activity recommendations. The Committee prepared a
report in spring 2008 that documented the scientific background and rationale
for the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. The report was presented
to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and published in June 2008. Public
comment was solicited—you may view the comments submitted online and
via e-mail.

The Committee met three times to review and evaluate the scientific evidence relating
physical activity to health outcomes for the general population and selected subgroups,
such as youth, older adults, and persons with disabilities. Provided below are agendas
and minutes for each meeting, as well as relevant announcements and the final Physical
Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee Report.
