Dr. Zan Gao, assistant professor in the School of Kinesiology and director of the Physical Activity Epidemiology Lab (PAEL), has published a co-authored article, “The contributing role of physical education in youth’s daily physical activity and sedentary behavior,” in BMC Public Health. This study examined the contributing role of physical education in daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and sedentary time among youth. Findings suggested that physical education displayed a positive contribution to increasing daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and decreasing daily sedentary time among youth. Active participation in physical education classes increases the chance to be more active and less sedentary beyond physical education among youth. Citation: Chen, S., Kim, Y., & Gao, Z. (2014).
