Better Health for Young People Through Physical Activity and Sports
A Report to the President From the Secretary of

Ultimately, this could have a devastating impact on our national health

and the Secretary of Education, released by the White House, November 29,
2000, outlines ten strategies to promote health through lifelong
participation in enjoyable and safe physical activity and sports. Includes
