The
National Association for Health and Fitness (NAHF) is a non-profit organization
that exists to improve the quality of life for individuals in the United States
through the promotion of physical fitness, sports and healthy lifestyles. NAHF
accomplishes this work by fostering and supporting Governor’s and State Councils
and coalitions that promote and encourages regular physical activity.
Many states have active councils that promote physical activity for persons
of all ages and abilities. Governor and State Councils represent the grassroots
programs that encourage the need for and benefits of regular physical activity,
reaching more than 215 million people through state and local programs.
The President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports is pleased to announce the creation of two new awards, the Lifetime Achievement Award (LAA) (http://www.fitness.gov/about_lifetime_award.htm) and the Community Leadership Award (CLA) (http://www.fitness.gov/about_community_award.htm) . These awards were established by the Council to recognize the countless contributions many Americans have made to promote or enhance physical activity, fitness, or sports in this country. Please check out the websites for more information.
Health
Promotion Advocates promote healthy lifestyles among all Americans
and thereby reduce medical costs and utilization, improve quality of life, and
enhance productivity.
