abstract="OBJECTIVE: To examine physical activity differences between public (PUBHS) and private (PVTHS) high school students (n = 6,627). METHODS: The 1995 SC Youth Risk Behavior Survey was utilized. Chi-square analyses compared PVTHS and PUBHS students. RESULTS: PVTHS school students reported greater involvement in regular exercise programs (p < .001) and participation on school-based sport teams (p < .001). However, PUBHS school students reported greater participation in physical education (p < .001). PUBHS males participated in more community-based sport programs than did PVTHS males (p <.001); however, PVTHS females participated in more community-based sports than PUBHS males did (p < .001). CONCLUSION: Significantly different physical activity behaviors exist between PVTHS and PUBHS students in South Carolina.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
