Which regulation governs holistic health and fitness?

• A. AR 600-9
• B. FM 7-22
• C. ATP 7-22.01
• D. ADP 7-0

Answer: (C)

Holistic health and fitness means treating readiness as an integrated system across multiple domains—physical training, nutrition, sleep/recovery, mental readiness, and injury prevention—so Soldiers are prepared for all challenges. The publication that governs this entire approach is ATP 7-22.01, which lays out the Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) program, how it’s implemented, and the roles and practices units follow to optimize performance and reduce injuries.

The other documents address related topics but not the full H2F system: regulations on body composition focus on weight and fitness standards; the field manual for physical readiness training covers how to conduct workouts; training doctrine at large covers broader organizational training policy. ATP 7-22.01 directly codifies the holistic framework, making it the governing guidance for H2F.
