Moving America Forward: A National Physical Activity Plan Roadmap

This comprehensive roadmap addresses environmental and policy issues impacting why Americans are not moving, uniting professionals across eight sectors to solve this problem. Initiated in 2008 by the CDC after the National Physical Activity Guidelines release, this plan is led by the Prevention Research Center at the University of South Carolina and implemented through the National Coalition for Promoting Physical Activity (NCPPA). The Make the Move Council, chaired by leading organizations, directs strategies, publishes reports, and advocates for federal policy priorities, promoting physical activity across schools, worksites, parks, transportation, and healthcare. The plan sets measurable objectives for change at national, state, and local levels, guiding organizations to align with and support national efforts to increase physical activity nationwide.
