Abstract
Recently, the U.S. Surgeon General described two aspects of national health that require our immediate attention: As a nation, we are becoming increasingly more sedentary and more overweight. Furthermore, he and some of the most prominent health agencies have suggested that one of the primary strategies to overcome what is viewed as a national epidemic is the promotion of quality physical education in our schools. This paper describes in brief the facts associated with this concern, what is meant by quality physical education, and the role of the school nurse in helping to promote physical education in the schools.
