[edit] PE requirements for K-12

At the end of the second paragraph I thought it may be informative to discuss the recommended PE guidelines provided by the American Heart Association and the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. For example,

The National Heart Association and the National Association for Sport and Physical Education recommend daily physical education from kindergarten through 12th grade. The minimum amount of physical education is typically set by state law, and only one state in the union requires PE daily K-12. Enrollment in Physical Education courses declines with older age, and only about 60% of High School students are enrolled in a PE course.

[edit] History of P.E.

The nature, content and circumstances of training for children and people in general have changed througout time, shalln't this be adressed in here? I bet there are those who know a thing or two 'bout PE in the mid 19th century or in the 17th... How did it work in the 16th, 15th or 14th? There's a lot of data that can be added to this article if you can back it up...Undead Herle King (talk) 23:46, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
