          DIGEST:  This resolution proclaims May 2015 as National Physical  
          Fitness and Sports Month in California, and encourages all  
          Californians to enrich their lives through proper diet and  
          exercise.


          ANALYSIS:   This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:


          1)Moderate daily exercise and fitness activities are excellent  
            ways to relieve stress, lower the risk of heart disease and  
            diabetes, prevent bone loss, and reduce the risk of some  
            cancers.  Exercise and fitness activities can increase  
            self-esteem, boost energy, strengthen the heart and muscles,  
            and burn calories.

          2)Fitness activities have been shown to sharpen mental ability  
            and retard the aging process in all people and, among the  
            elderly, exercise provides cardiovascular, respiratory,  
            neuromuscular, metabolic, and mental health benefits.

          3)Maximizing one's energy level, increasing muscle mass, and  
            reducing body fat increases one's chances of living a longer,

                                                                     Page  2



            healthier life.

          4)The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found  
            that, in 2013, just over 60% of California's population was  
            either obese or overweight and that 6% of adults are severely  
            obese - a figure that has quadrupled in the past 30 years.



          This resolution proclaims May 2015 as National Physical Fitness  
          and Sports Month in California, and encourages all Californians  
          to enrich their lives through proper diet and exercise.

          Prior Legislation
          
          ACR 25 (Wildman, 1999) would have designated May 1999 as  
          California Physical Fitness and Sports Month, and would have  
          encouraged Californians to assess the physical activity patterns  
          of young people and provide a range of developmentally  
          appropriate community sports and recreation programs that are  
          attractive to young people.  The resolution died in the  
          Assembly.
