ACSM American Fitness Index® program (AFI)
In 2008, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) launched the ACSM American Fitness Index® program (AFI), in partnership with the WellPoint Foundation. The AFI program revolves around an annual data report published in May and near the date of the ACSM Annual Meeting. The AFI data report measures the 50 most populous metropolitan areas in the United States and provides a score and ranking reflecting a composite of preventive health behaviors, levels of chronic disease conditions, health care access, and community resources and policies that support physical activity. Included in the report are benchmarks for each data indicator to highlight areas that need improvement.With the help of this report, municipalities, community groups, health organizations and individual citizens can assess factors contributing to their metro area’s level of fitness, health and quality of life. The report is also an evaluation tool for measuring progress at the community level. READ MORE .....
