Join the AHPN

Individuals and organizations may join the Activity and Health Policy Network. While there is no cost for membership, your endorsement of the Network’s principles signals a commitment to encourage physical activity and reduce sedentarism in the interest of better health for all Americans. In joining the Activity and Health Policy Network, individuals and organizations affirm their support for six key goals:
 

1. National Guidelines for Physical Activity, to be regularly developed, updated and promoted
2. A National Program of Educational and Behavioral Change concerning physical activity and inactivity, similar to the highly successful national program on cholesterol education
3. The National Plan for Physical Activity, bringing a broad range of organizations together under federal auspices to implement strategies for increasing physical activity
4. Federal Emphasis on Biomedical Science reflecting a strong priority on promoting active lifestyles and reducing sedentarism
5. Health-Care Goals at State and Federal Levels that address health promotion and disease prevention, based on science and medicine and integrated into health care at all levels
6. Strategies Focusing on Key Populations and Settings such as Youth, Older Adults, and Racial/Ethnic Minorities, Schools, Communities, Worksites, and Healthcare Settings
