The growing number of overweight people is putting a strain on the health care system. One way to deal with this problem is to introduce more physical education lessons in the school curriculum.
To extent do you agree or disagree?

The health care system is under pressure to reduce the increasing number of obese people. Some people believe that expanding amount of time in physical education in school curriculum is the key to tackle epidemic obesity; I completely agree with this point of view.

Firstly, having more PE class in school make children knowledgeable and be more active. In fact, when students take part in PE lessons, they are not only educated about safe and proper techniques or movements skills, but also how to stay fit and healthy. Such skills and knowledge are necessary for them to apply both inside and outside school. In addition, while having more time in physical education class, sedentary lifestyle is dwindling away in children. Obviously, most school-aged youth spending large of portion of their day sitting in class means that they are more likely to be active and to avoid playing sport with their friends. However, by enforcing pupils to attend moderate intensive physical education in class and engaging them in extra curriculum, they must be more active and fitter.

Secondly, this method also brings long-term benefits to children’s life. Kids completely find their interest in sport through physical activities in class and integrate it into their route activities. Furthermore, their interest might fill through other members in the family or their peers by participating constructive activities such as football, basketball as recreational activities. Parents have a tendency to get involved with their kids as an encouragement way to maintain this healthy habit. In turn, obesity reduction not only happens in youth generations but also in older generations.

In conclusion, having more exercises in PE class is either the effective solution for obesity prevention or the way to promote children’s interest in sport in school and their daily activities.
