at the end the following:
‘‘PART L—PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR PROGRESS
‘‘SEC. 10999A. SHORT TITLE.
‘‘This part may be cited as the ‘Physical Education
for Progress Act’.
‘‘SEC. 10999B. PURPOSE.
‘‘The purpose of this part is to award grants and con-
tracts to local educational agencies to enable the local edu-
cational agencies to initiate, expand and improve physical
education programs for all kindergarten through 12th
grade students.
186
‘‘SEC. 10999C. FINDINGS.
‘‘Congress makes the following findings:
‘‘(1) Physical education is essential to the devel-
opment of growing children.
‘‘(2) Physical education helps improve the over-
all health of children by improving their cardio-
vascular endurance, muscular strength and power,
and flexibility, and by enhancing weight regulation,
bone development, posture, skillful moving, active
lifestyle habits, and constructive use of leisure time.
‘‘(3) Physical education helps improve the self
esteem, interpersonal relationships, responsible be-
havior, and independence of children.
‘‘(4) Children who participate in high quality
daily physical education programs tend to be more
healthy and physically fit.
‘‘(5) The percentage of young people who are
overweight has more than doubled in the 30 years
preceding 1999.
‘‘(6) Low levels of activity contribute to the
high prevalence of obesity among children in the
United States.
‘‘(7) Obesity related diseases cost the United
States economy more than $100,000,000,000 every
year.
187
‘‘(8) Inactivity and poor diet cause at least
300,000 deaths a year in the United States.
‘‘(9) Physically fit adults have significantly re-
duced risk factors for heart attacks and stroke.
‘‘(10) Children are not as active as they should
be and fewer than one in four children get 20 min-
utes of vigorous activity every day of the week.
‘‘(11) The Surgeon General’s 1996 Report on
Physical Activity and Health, and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, recommend daily
physical education for all students in kindergarten
through grade 12.
‘‘(12) Twelve years after Congress passed
House Concurrent Resolution 97, 100th Congress,
agreed to December 11, 1987, encouraging State
and local governments and local educational agencies
to provide high quality daily physical education pro-
grams for all children in kindergarten through grade
12, little progress has been made.
‘‘(13) Every student in our Nation’s schools,
from kindergarten through grade 12, should have
the opportunity to participate in quality physical
education. It is the unique role of quality physical
education programs to develop the health-related fit-
ness, physical competence, and cognitive under-
188
standing about physical activity for all students so
that the students can adopt healthy and physically
active lifestyles.
‘‘SEC. 10999D. PROGRAM AUTHORIZED.
