Whatever Happened to Gym Class?

Not a  recent article but one well worth revisiting. This is By Salynn Boyles and is a WebMD Feature article.
It's an article on West Middle School
in Downey, Calif. and their high-tech fitness
facility that allows them to race stationary bicycles on virtual courses against computer-generated opponents, and keep track of their fitness levels over time using handheld devices. It also has information on the fitness levels of students throughout the U.S.
