Schools Following PE GuidelinesUniversity of Georgia professor Bryan
McCullick looked at schools in all 50 states. He found most schools are coming up short
with PE guidelines. In fact, he says only six states implemented
enough gym time for elementary school students.

Federal Law“While public health reforms have emphasized
school-based physical education as a means of combating the childhood obesity epidemic, the study’s results found that courts typically do not interfere with state legislative decisions concerning curriculum.”

education to increase time for other subjects, in the hope of raising standardized test scores.

Understanding the Difference Between Physical Education and Physical ActivityOften the words are used interchangeably but
they differ in important ways. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) believes every child in the United States deserves both a quality physical education and physical activity program.
(NASPE 2012)
A Quality Physical EducatorInstructional periods totaling 150 minutes per
week (elementary) and 225 minutes per week (middle and high school)
Qualified physical education teachers providing a developmentally appropriate program
Teacher/student ratio in physical education no greater than 1:25 (elementary) and (1:30 middle/high) for optimal instruction (similar to other classroom settings)
Adequate equipment and facilities for all students to be active at the same time
Academic Excellence Research shows that daily physical
education has a positive correlation with academic performance and attitudes toward school. However, a June report from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) indicates that nearly half of high school students had no physical education classes in an average week.
