SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:10 Mar 01, 2018
Jkt 244001
was the first comprehensive guidelines
on physical activity issued by the
federal government. The PAG serves as
the benchmark and primary,
authoritative voice of the federal
government for providing science-based
guidance on physical activity, fitness,
and health for Americans. The second
edition of the PAG will build upon the
first edition and provide a foundation
for federal recommendations and
education for physical activity programs
for Americans, including those at risk
for chronic disease.
Description of the Committee’s
Mission and Composition: The 2018
Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory
Committee (Committee or PAGAC) was
established to perform a single, timelimited task. The work of the Committee
was solely advisory in nature. It was
charged to examine the current PAG,
take into consideration new scientific
evidence and current resource
documents, and develop a scientific
report to the Secretary of HHS that
outlines its science-based advice and
recommendations for development of
the second edition of the PAG. The
Committee consisted of 17 members,
who were appointed by the Secretary in
June 2016. The Committee disbanded
upon submission of its Scientific Report
to the Secretary of HHS. Information on
the Committee membership is available
at www.health.gov/paguidelines/secondedition/committee/.
