The major goal of physical education programs in schools is to help all children become physically fit. But only a small proportion of children ever participate in team sports. Moreover, team sports usually do less to encourage fitness in participants than do physical education programs that focus directly on aerobic exercise. The considerations above, if true, could be used most effectively to argue against
A. The use of in-school physical education programs to encourage lifelong fitness habits in students
B. The participation by young children in community sports teams
C. School's relying heavily on aerobic exercise programs to help all children become physically fit.
D. The use of a large part of a school's physical education curriculum for team sports.
E. The use of team sports in schools as an occasional activity for talented athletes.
Explanation: (D) The argument states that the goal is to help ALL children become physically fit, but few participate in team sports, and team sports are less effective for fitness than aerobic exercise programs. Therefore, allocating a **large part** of the curriculum to team sports (which only benefits a small group and is less effective) is the most arguable point against the stated goal.
