Physical Activity Trends

Daily attendance of high school students in physical activity classes declined from 42% in 1991 to 25% in 1995

Nearly half of adolescents (12-21) did not participate regularly in vigorous physical activity

Participation in physical activity declines strikingly as age or grade in school increases
