• Description:
  Every 10 yr, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reviews the body of evidence for physical activity and health outcomes and provides updated guidance on the amounts and types of physical activity necessary to get and stay healthy (1). Developing the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (Guidelines) is a multiyear process, beginning with the identification of key topics, and then the solicitation and appointment of a group of academic experts to serve on the Advisory Committee. The Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee conducts a series of systematic literature reviews on physical-activity-related topics and summarizes the findings in a scientific report, which is then used by the Federal Government to develop the Guidelines.
  
  Planning is underway for the third edition of the Guidelines, anticipated for release in 2028. A federal planning group led by HHS's Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) organized a listening session in May 2024 and invited those with expertise in selected topics to participate. Experts from the World Health Organization and the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines were also invited as key international collaborators. The goals of the listening session were to assess the body of knowledge on selected emerging topics that can inform the next edition of the Guidelines, identify research gaps that can be shared with the research community, and begin engaging physical activity researchers and health professionals in the planning for the next edition.
