Figure 6. Percentage distribution of public elementary schools reporting the number of days per week of scheduled physical education, by elementary grade level: 2005

NOTE: Respondents were asked to provide information for each grade that was considered elementary at the school, typically grades 1 through 5 or 6. One percent of public elementary schools did not have scheduled physical education at the school (not shown in figure). Thus, detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and the exclusion of the 1 percent of schools with no scheduled recess.
