Background
PCFSN was originally established as
the President’s Council on Youth
Fitness by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower in 1956. In 2010, President
Barack Obama issued Executive Order
(EO) 13545, dated June 22, 2010, to
amend EO 13265, dated June 6, 2002.
EO 13545 changed the organization’s
name from the President’s Council on
Physical Fitness and Sports (PCPFS) to
the President’s Council on Fitness,
Sports, and Nutrition (PCFSN);
expanded the mission of the Council to
include nutrition; and, increased the
maximum number of members who
serve on the Council from 20 to 25.
The Council advises the President,
through the Secretary of Health and
Human Services, about the challenges
and opportunities to promote fitness,
sports and nutrition across the United
States. Specifically, the Council, as
outlined in EO 13265, Section (3)(b), is
directed to ‘‘advise the Secretary on
ways to promote regular physical
activity, fitness, sports participation,
and good nutrition. Recommendations
may address, but are not necessarily
limited to, public awareness campaigns;
federal, state and local physical activity;
fitness, sports participation, and
nutrition initiatives; and partnership
opportunities between public- and
private-sector health-promotion
entities.’’ Section (3)(c) adds, ‘‘The
Council shall function as a liaison to
relevant state, local, and private entities
in order to advise the Secretary
regarding opportunities to extend and
improve physical activity, fitness,
sports, and nutrition programs and
services at the local, state, and national
levels.’’ In addition, the Council, as
stated in Section (3)(d) ‘‘shall monitor
the need to enhance programs and
educational and promotional materials
sponsored, overseen, or disseminated by
the Council, and shall advise the
Secretary as necessary concerning such
need.’’ The EO also states in Section (1)
that in implementing this order, the
‘‘Secretary shall be guided by the
science-based federal Dietary Guidelines
for Americans and the Physical Activity
Guidelines for Americans.’’ Through the
authority of section 1704 of the Public
Health Service Act, PCFSN may support
and ‘‘encourage others to support’’
activities related to health information
and promotion, including the
publication of information and securing
the cooperation of communication
media.
The purpose of the President’s
Challenge is to motivate individuals six
