AAHPERD stands for which phrase?

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

Answer: (B)

AAHPERD stands for American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance. The word Alliance reflects a cooperative coalition of four areas in the field, and the D stands for Dance, showing the expanded scope beyond just health, physical education, and recreation. The other options use Association instead of Alliance, which doesn’t match the official name. (Today the organization is commonly known as SHAPE America.)
