AAHPERD stands for which organization?

• A. American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance
• B. American Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance
• C. American Alliance for Health and Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance
• D. Alliance for American Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance

Answer: (A)

The main idea is knowing the exact title of the organization represented by the acronym. AAHPERD stands for American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance. The correct wording uses Alliance (not Association) and lists four distinct fields—Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance—with American at the front and a comma before the final “and.” The other versions change “Alliance” to “Association,” join Health and Physical Education into one phrase, or alter the order or presence of “American,” so they don’t reflect the official name.
