Despite a state requirement that public middle and high school students get 400 minutes of physical education every 10 days, approximately 1.3 million more than a third (38 percent) of all adolescents enrolled in California public schools do not participate in any school-based physical education classes, according to a new policy brief from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.
