Bulletin 12: Opportunities at school to be active

The 2010-2011 Physical Activity Monitor asked parents about certain opportunities at school to support their child being active. Specifically, parents were asked to indicate whether their children acquire sufficient amounts of physical activity through physical education classes offered at school.  Parents were also asked to report on the availability of other physical activity and sports programs offered outside of these physical education classes. In addition, parents were asked whether their children participate in these programs and the extent to which these programs meet their children’s physical activity needs.
