Read the passage below and then answer the following questions.

Most children and teenagers attend schools that offer physical education classes. Participating in physical activity during school is a great way to increase fitness. Both the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) and the American Heart Association (AHA) recommend that all students engage in regular physical education classes in school. These recommendations include the following:

  • Elementary school students should participate in more than 150 minutes of physical education per week.
  • Middle and high school students should participate in more than 225 minutes of physical education per week.

Schools can increase the amount of physical activity in a student's day by ensuring that physical education classes are taught by qualified teachers and are provided to all students in all grades. Unfortunately, too few high school students participate in physical education classes on a regular basis.
