Which organization did the Kennedy administration help start that focuses on physical fitness and includes sport and nutrition?

• A. National Fitness Council.
• B. Presidents Council on Physical Fitness / PCFSN.
• C. National Council on Sport and Nutrition.
• D. Presidential Sports Council.

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how the Kennedy era formalized national effort to boost physical activity, sport participation, and healthy eating. The organization the Kennedy administration helped start is the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. It was created to promote fitness across the population, encourage people to engage in sports, and include nutrition as part of overall health messaging. This council acted as a national hub to guide fitness education, public programs, and school initiatives, tying together exercise, sport involvement, and nutrition in a coordinated way. The other named bodies don’t reflect the Kennedy-era initiative that specifically established this council to champion fitness and its connection to sport and nutrition.
