Others participate in sports and want to improve&nbsp;<strong>speed, mobility, flexibility, coordination, or athletic performance<\/strong>. Some students may have physical limitations that make traditional PE activities more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u0627\u0644&nbsp;<strong>ASTR Online Student Physical

individual goals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Online Physical Education for Florida PEP Students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ASTR program provides&nbsp;<strong>online, step-by-step Physical Education instruction<\/strong>&nbsp;that students can complete from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students participate in
