American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD), previously known as the Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, is an organization proving support to professionals specializing in any activity which promotes a healthy lifestyle.
It is composed of five organizations, a Research Consortium and 6 regional districts.
- American Association for Health Education
- American Association for Physical Activity and Recreation
- National Association for Girls and Women in Sport
- National Association for Sport and Physical Education

The Alliance at the September 2009 Board of Governor's meeting voted to move forward on motions for the exit of the American Association for Health Education and the restructuring of the National Association for Girls and Women in Sport.
