"The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend that children and adolescents engage in 60 minutes or more of physical activity each day. Schools provide an ideal place for students to access opportunities to be physically active. Students can meet the nationally recommended number of minutes of daily physical activity, with physical education serving as the foundation.

SHAPE America recommends that schools provide 150 minutes of instructional physical education for elementary school children, and 225 minutes for middle and high school students per week for the entire school year. A quality physical education program provides learning opportunities, appropriate instruction,meaningful and challenging content and student and program assessment." (SHAPE America)
