The "Promoting Physical Activity for Americans Act" directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to regularly publish comprehensive physical activity recommendations for the people of the United States. The initial report is due by December 31, 2029, with subsequent reports every ten years, providing guidance for the general public and relevant federal agencies. These recommendations must be grounded in the most current evidence-based scientific and medical knowledge , including specific advice for diverse population subgroups such as children and individuals with disabilities. Additionally, the Secretary is required to publish update reports every five to ten years, detailing evidence-based practices and addressing ongoing issues related to physical activity. Importantly, any physical fitness standards derived from this Act are explicitly stated as not binding on individuals as a matter of federal law or regulation.
