Our Vision


Our Mission
How we accomplish our mission:
The evidence tells us that incorporating physical activity into your daily life is one of the most important things you can do for your health and well-being. To that end, our focus is on the policies and systems that help make the active choice an easy choice. We promote evidence-based policies, and provide strategies for health care, recreation, transportation, and other sectors of the economy to enhance physical activity opportunities
We also develop and issue continuing education for professionals in public health, education, and beyond.
Founding Organizations



The National Physical Activity Plan Alliance, The National Physical Activity Society, and The National Coalition for Promoting Physical Activity merged as the foundation for the Physical Activity Alliance – a new, broadly based, powerful voice for physical activity promotion in our country. We invite you to join us.
The Alliance combines deep expertise in policy advocacy, strategic planning, and workforce development to address physical activity. We connect planning to policy and advocacy as well as to professionals promoting public health approaches to physical activity.
