Teens, Sports, and Exercise
From the Series Compact Research: Teen Well-Being
Health-care professionals say that teens need at least sixty minutes of exercise each day, which many get through sports involvement and exercise programs--but a growing number of young people are inactive. Through objective overviews, primary sources, and full-color illustrations this title examines How Active Are Teens Today? What Are the Benefits of Sports and Exercise for Teens? What Are the Negative Aspects of Sports Participation for Teens? and Should Physical Education Be Mandatory in Schools?
