American Heart Association - Physical Activity Policy

Physical activity has been shown to have a positive impact on physical and mental well-being, quality of life, productivity, economic development, military readiness and retention, and academic performance. But only one in five American adults get the recommended amount of physical activity, and we are seeing children become more and more sedentary. The American Heart Association is trying to change this fact.
