About National Physical Fitness & Sports Month
National Physical Fitness and Sports Month is declared each May by the President of the United States. It is a month to raise awareness about the benefits of physical activity. Families are encouraged to make small changes, like taking a walk after dinner or going for a bike ride.

Teachers and administrators work to make physical activity a part of every student’s day and business leaders are encouraged to engage with the community, youth leaders and their peers about the importance of being active.

Activities include:

Presidential Youth Fitness Program Exit Disclaimer

A comprehensive school-based program that promotes health and regular physical activity for America’s youth. This is a voluntary program that offers educators free access to a health-related assessment for youth fitness, professional development for meaningful implementation, and motivational recognition to empower students to adopt and maintain an active lifestyle.

Adult Fitness Test

Measures an adult's aerobic fitness, muscular strength, flexibility, and other aspects of health-related fitness. Use this test to see how fit you are by completing the testing activities, entering your data online, and receiving an evaluation. It's the jump start to a healthier you!

PALA Program

Motivational program for individuals and families who want to make physical activity and healthy eating part of their everyday lives. This challenge is for anyone, from kids to grandparents, who wants to live a more active and healthier lifestyle.

Presidential Champions

A program for people who want to be more active more often. Earn your champion award by logging activities and earning points as you do it. It's a great next step if you've completed your PALA+ challenge or for people who already get regular exercise.
