McCullick

A study by  University of Georgia kinesiology professor Bryan McCullick earlier this year that found only six states nationwide require the recommended 150 minutes of elementary school-based physical education was cited in a November 14 Huff Post article about a new report on P.E. that echoes his findings.

The new report by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education and the American Heart Association found that while nearly 75 percent of states require physical education in elementary through high school, over half of states permit students to substitute other activities for their required physical education credit, or otherwise fail to mandate a specific amount of instructional time.
