Abstract

The United Way of Western Connecticut's 2014 annual report on Danbury's Young Children found that Danbury's children are facing many physical fitness challenges compared to the state of CT. A study looking at 4th graders in a physical fitness test finds that Danbury students consistently have a harder time passing the fitness test. Of the population studied, 42.5% were ethnically Hispanic.
