“It is the growing belief that any advances made in improving the nation’s health will not result from spectacular biomedical breakthrough. Rather, advances will result from personally initiated actions that are directly influenced by the individual’s health related attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge. School health education and physical education can make valuable contributions in areas such as these and can play and important role in improving the quality of life.”
