In California, more than 1.3 million adolescents (38%) do not participate in physical education (PE) at school, and this rate increases dramatically with age, from just 5% at age 12 to 77% at age 17. In addition, only 19% of teens meet current physical activity recommendations. Participation in PE at school is associated with more overall physical activity. Policies that promote more opportunities for physical activity, including those that help schools meet or exceed current PE requirements, can contribute to greater levels of physical activity for adolescents.
在加利福尼亚州，超过130万青少年（38%）未参加学校的体育教育课程，且这一比例随年龄急剧上升，从12岁时的仅5%增至17岁时的77%。此外，只有19%的青少年达到当前的体育活动建议标准。在学校参加体育教育课程与更多的总体体育活动相关。促进更多体育活动机会的政策，包括那些帮助学校达到或超过当前体育教育要求的政策，可有助于提高青少年的体育活动水平。
