Life's Essential 8 are defined by the American Heart Association, a global force changing the future of health for all, as managing weight, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose/sugar, eating a healthy diet, getting physical activity, avoiding smoking/nicotine exposure and getting adequate, quality sleep.

'With the support of the NFL Alumni Association together we are meeting people where they are to inspire them to champion their health.' The series of public service announcement videos will be shared via social media to educate and inspire men to take proactive steps toward better heart health. Chaired by Ken Coffey, former NFL safety and senior vice president and chief operating officer of the NFL Alumni Association, the campaign features eight former NFL players and members of the NFL Alumni Association. Each former player highlights a pillar of Life's Essential 8 to help both retired NFL players and the general public understand both the health risk factors as well as the opportunities for improvement. The measures are divided into two categories- addressing health behaviors and health factors. Research shows that following these guidelines can lead to a longer, healthier life free of chronic disease. The Life's Essential 8 are represented by: 'As former athletes, we understand the importance of being proactive about our health,' said Brad Edwards, former NFL All-Pro safety and chief executive officer of NFL Alumni.

New initiative delivers CPR education through ADP Mobile Solutions app to build Nation of Lifesavers™
ADP supports American Heart Association goal to prepare more workers to respond to cardiac emergencies DALLAS and ROSELAND, N.J., May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With more than 10,000 cardiac arrests occurring annually in U.S. workplaces1, ADP, a global technology company providing human capital management (HCM) solutions, is supporting the American Heart Association to expand CPR education across the workforce. By integrating information about Hands-Only CPR training into the ADP Mobile Solutions app, the organizations are helping millions of employees nationwide be ready to act in an emergency. Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere — and immediate CPR can double or triple a person's chance of survival. Yet according to the American Heart Association, a global force changing the future of health of all, seven in 10 Americans say they feel powerless to act during a cardiac emergency2. Through this initiative, ADP, which pays one in six workers in the United States, is empowering its clients and associates with lifesaving education at scale. "Increasing access to modern, accessible CPR education is critical to saving more lives from cardiac arrest," said Nancy Brown, chief executive officer of the American Heart Association. "Through Nation of Lifesavers, we aim to double the survival rate from sudden cardiac arrest by 2030. With this support from ADP, we can bring lifesaving skills directly to the fingertips of millions of workers." The program, which is optional to clients, offers ADP Mobile Solutions users a simple two-step learning opportunity: watch a 60-second Hands-Only CPR video, then complete a four-question assessment. After completing the assessment, users receive a digital Nation of Lifesavers badge to recognize their commitment to helping save lives. Since piloting this feature in ADP Mobile Solutions in Fall 2024, more than 160,000 users have already engaged in the Hands-Only CPR mobile education, with the potential to reach the app's 14 million active monthly users, as the availability expands. "Every decision we make is centered on helping people thrive at work and in life," said Maria Black, president and CEO of ADP. "Through technology and human-centered innovation, we are proud to support the work of the American Heart Association in building a stronger chain of survival across the workplace." In addition to the mobile learning, ADP is hosting in-person Hands-Only CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) training sessions at 18 of its office locations nationwide. The company aims to educate its associates on Hands-Only CPR and AED use through over 100 sessions in 2025 and early 2026. ADP's commitment to cardiac health extends beyond the office. For the past four years, ADP associates have also participated in American Heart Association Heart Walk events across the country to raise awareness and funds for heart health. Hands-Only CPR, which involves chest compressions without rescue breaths, is effective for teens and adults who experience sudden cardiac arrest. Immediate action — including the use of an AED when available — can dramatically increase the chance of survival.3 However, only half of workers can locate an AED at their workplace today, according to the Association.

35 schools nationwide join NFL PLAY 60 Day of Play to support youth health and well-being
( NewMediaWire ) - May 13, 2025 - DALLAS — According to the American Heart Association, physical inactivity in childhood is a major risk factor for developing coronary artery disease and stroke, as well as cardiovascular risk factors including obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. To inspire youth to get physically active, the American Heart Association, a global force changing the future of health for all, and the National Football League (NFL) bring a new NFL PLAY 60(TM) resource to schools to close out the 2024-2025 academic year. Day of Play is an immersive experience focused on fitness, fun and education all with the goal of helping students move more and, ultimately, live longer and healthier lives as they build healthy habits. Nationwide, 35 schools have been named official Day of Play schools representing the NFL club in their local markets. Three of these schools, representing the NFL tentpole event markets of Super Bowl LIX (New Orleans), Super Bowl LX (San Francisco Bay Area) and the 2025 NFL Draft (Green Bay), also received grants of $2,500 to support their Day of Play activation. Day of Play delivers an immersive day of fun and movement to encourage increased daily physical activity, which can positively impact overall mental and physical wellness, an essential element to help children reach their full potential. 'Kids need fun, interactive and confidence-building experiences that are memorable and instill a culture of health from the early days of their lives. For nearly 20 years, the work of the American Heart Association and the NFL has helped deliver that to kids through NFL PLAY 60,' said Nancy Brown, chief executive officer of the American Heart Association. 'My gratitude goes out to the educators and caregivers who understand the value NFL PLAY 60 programming brings and are committed to the long-term health of their students.' The 35 NFL PLAY 60 Day of Play schools will activate between now and June 2025 at a date of each school's selection. The schools all received a Day of Play activation guide and an official NFL PLAY 60 Day of Play interactive kit—featuring footballs, fitness dice and heart-health challenges—that can be used to transform the school into a movement zone, ensuring every child finds a way to engage in physical activity. Students participating will have the opportunity to move through various activities, games, challenges and exercise content and receive edutainment about heart health. The experience aims to make health and well-being fun and relatable and create a memorable day that inspires students to take charge of their health. The Day of Play schools and their associated NFL teams are: The three schools receiving Day of Play grants are 'The NFL is committed to providing children with the resources needed to grow up happy and healthy,' said NFL Senior Vice President of Social Responsibility Anna Isaacson. 'The NFL PLAY 60 Day of Play event with the American Heart Association is a powerful way to bring that mission to life, giving youth across the country the opportunity to get moving and learn more about the importance of physical activity.' Beyond these 35, any school can bring the Day of Play experience to their students by downloading the free Day of Play activation guide. The guide includes exercise video content, ideas for games, challenges and contests, along with heart-health video modules and physical activity ideas. In addition to Day of Play, NFL PLAY 60 supports students' physical and mental health through the NFL PLAY 60 Fitness Breaks, 15-minute broadcasts that gets students up and moving along with the NFL at key times throughout the year — season kickoff, Super Bowl and NFL Draft. The NFL PLAY 60 Exercise Library features two-to-three minute on-demand exercise videos from each of the 32 NFL teams featuring players, NFL legends, cheerleaders and mascots. Lastly, the NFL PLAY 60 app, free and available for iOS and Android devices, allows users to select their favorite team and control personalized avatars onscreen with their own physical movement. Users can create custom workouts and earn special PLAY points to unlock cool NFL gear for on-screen PLAY 60 avatars. Rooted in American Heart Association science, the NFL PLAY 60 initiative helps children to develop healthy habits for a better chance of a healthy adulthood. The program encourages kids to get a minimum of 60 minutes of vigorous physical activity each day to meet the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. Reducing sedentary behavior and increasing physical activity are key to immediate and long-term health for children. The NFL and the American Heart Association have been teaming up since 2006 to inspire kids through fun and engaging ways to get physically active for at least 60 minutes a day. The impact of physical activity on overall mental and physical wellness is essential to help children grow to reach their full potential.
