With an increasing overweight population some people think universities should make sport a compulsory module on all degree courses. To what extent do you agree?.

Obesity

, which is a condition of being overweight, is a rising concern for many people. Some people are of the view that by incorporating sports in all degree courses will help reduce

obesity

. In my opinion, I somewhat agree with the idea of making sport compulsory, while I

also

believe that there are other factors that need to be addressed.

To begin

with, making physical education classes a must in different degree courses will help people to keep fit. As people are getting overweight due to the increase in the sedentary life habits.

For example

, children and young adults spend more time playing video games and staying indoors, rather than playing any sports.

Therefore

,

this

module will encourage people to participate in various physical activities, which can help them to lose weight.

However

, there are

further

reasons to increase in

obesity

rates.

Firstly

, many people have poor eating habits. Because fast food is readily available and cheap, people tend to eat it rather than going for

obesity

rate will reduce.
