President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports  

Definición

  • The President's Council on Youth Fitness was founded on July 16, 1956 by U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower with the aim of encouraging children to be healthy and active, and reducing the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity. The impetus for the council came from a report which indicated that young people in the United States were less physically fit than their European counterparts.
