Chan School of Public Health, Minneapolis, MN, USA; Boston, MA, USA Funding Information: The 2018 Physical Activity Advisory Committee (PAGAC) was comprised of 17 physical activity experts including epidemiologists, physicians, and exercise scientists. Their work was managed by the DHHS’s Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, and it was supported by a private contractor that conducted systematic searches of the research literature. The Committee was appointed by the secretary of the DHHS in 2016 and it worked for 2 years to identify key issues, review the relevant scientific literature, draw conclusions based on that literature, and produce a scientific report. As summarized in Table 1, the committee was organized into 9 subcommittees, each of which focused on a specified aspect of the physical activity– health relationship. The PAGAC posed a total of 38 research questions, and these questions became the focus of the literature searches. In some instances, the scientific literature was deemed inadequate to support a firm conclusion about the issues. However, in many cases, the committee found strong scientific evidence supporting a conclusion regarding the health effect of physical activity. Funding Information: This work was supported by the Physical Activity Policy Research Network Plus (PAPRN+), a product of a Prevention Research Center, through a Cooperative Agreement (U48DP005045) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
