In Fall 2001 the Task Force on Community Preventive Services released evidence-based recommendations for effective population-level strategies to improve physical activity levels [MMWR October 26, 2001;50(No. RR-18)]. An in-depth review of the evidence and findings, as well as commentaries from leading subject matter experts, has been published as a supplement to the May 2002 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Articles from the supplement are available on the Community Guide's website.Brown SA, Norris J, Torgan C, Duscha BD, Bales C, Slentz CA, Kraus WE.
