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
