Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of health and human services, is having rotator cuff surgery on Tuesday, according to a spokeswoman for the department, who said he planned to return to work on Monday.

The department did not immediately respond to a query as to whether Mr. Kennedy’s injury was caused by the intense workouts he has promoted since taking the helm of the agency.

Mr. Kennedy, 72, has promoted the workouts as part of a wider campaign to improve Americans’ health. Last year, he and Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, launched a fitness initiative in which they challenged people to 100 push-ups and 50 pull-ups in under 10 minutes.

Mr. Kennedy has also publicized himself working out with various public figures, including other cabinet secretaries and the musician Kid Rock.
