(Reuters Health) - - Negative childhood experiences in physical education (PE) classes may have long-term effects on adult physical activity, a large study suggests.
Researchers conducted an online survey of more than 1,000 adults, ages 18 to 45, across 46 states about their best and worst memories of their PE experiences, as well as their attitude about physical activity now. The 392 male and 636 female respondents were recruited by an internet service for monetary compensation

I once got a 2 minute penalty for high sticking while playing floor hockey in gym class. It was so traumatic.
I enjoyed gym class and still like to exercise.
Wah...wah...wah...get over yourselves...sheesh
I know if I’d had to share the locker and shower room with boys back in the 50’s and 60’s, gym class, and school as a whole would have negatively impacted my teenage years, and probably my adult lifestyle. Liberals want to negatively impact the lives of as many teenage girl as they can.
EVERYBODY is a victim of something or other.
Get over it and get on with living.
Showered every day after gym naked in the locker room. And this was JUNIOR high school,
My HS years were more memorable. The locker room custodian handed out towels. He was a very nice Hispanic fellow, it struck me that he raised a family from this job.
Like many, he enjoyed bowling in a league with his wife, a very sweet lady. I kept score at the local bowling alley, and kept score for his team throughout my HS years (68-72).
my favorite memories were the USMC physical fitness program/Obstacle Course
we even made pugil-sticks wi boxing gloves on the ends, strictly voluntary...
What a cake life you’re having if this is even remotely a consideration.
I got my ass snapped with a towel a couple of times but somehow survived and went on to run 10Ks and bike over 3000 miles a year.
Heck sharing a locker room and shower with girls can be bad enough. They can be brutal.
No, it wasn’t physical or sexual in nature. It was social and psychological.
And when you are all at different stages of puberty, look out.
I certainly wouldn’t have wanted to add boys to the mix. n I cannot fathom that even now as an adult.
Dodge ball, also affectionately known as Smear the Queer. Man, I miss the good ol’ days.
I would say there probably is a grain of truth to that. In the third grade we once had to learn how to play basketball. The boys who had older brothers would throw the ball at my shins. Of course it fouled out.
It took some time to understand why. To this day I still really hate basketball.
Are you Carrie White?
If so, I'm not going to the prom.
In junior high school gym class, once a semester we had a dance class, none of the girls would dance with me, so I played the record player. Yes I can dance and enjoy it.
No one remembers the mandatory jock strap your mother bought for you?
