Exercise is Medicine® calls on physicians and other health care providers to prescribe exercise to their patients. The goal is to make physical activity and exercise a standard part of a disease prevention and treatment medical paradigm. The program aims to have physical activity to be considered by all healthcare providers as a vital sign in every patient visit, and to ensure that patients are effectively counseled and referred to their physical activity and health needs, thus leading to overall improvement in the public’s health and long-term reduction in healthcare cost. 2021 World Congress on Exercise Medicine® was held as part of the 2021 ACSM Annual Meeting and World Congresses which was held virtually June 1-5, 2021. ACSM American Fitness Index Initiative- ACSM manages the American Fitness Index. The program monitors, measures, and motivates communities around the United States in their efforts to lead more active and healthy lifestyles. In July 2021, AFI released its 14th annual report with this year’s report ranking America’s 100 largest cities using more than 30 health behaviors, including those related to physical activity. Support of Legislation- ACSM’s Policy Center regularly interacts with legislators proposing legislation related to physical activity and mobilizes ACSM members to express their support for the initiatives. In June 2021, ACSM hosted a virtual Capitol Hill Day in which ACSM members met with legislators to advocate for policies in support of increasing physical activity and wellbeing of Americans.
