Cuts to physical education programs, as well as exemptions that allow high school students to skip up to two years of PE, have contributed to declining participation in these school-based programs, the brief's authors noted. The study, which was released today,found that the number of teens participating in PE drops precipitously with age, from 95 percent at age 12 to just 23 percent at age 17.
