Military Settings

The NPAP Military Settings Sector focuses on physical activity promotion among US military communities. Physical inactivity is a significant threat to U.S. national security, with declines in physical activity and fitness being a major contributing factor in the roughly 75% of American youth failing to qualify for military service. The sector collaborates with the Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs to improve physical activity among active duty, reservist, veteran, and civilian employees of the US Armed Service and their families.
