The growing number of overweight people is putting a strain on the healthcare system in an effort to deal with the health issues involved. Some people think that way to deal with this problem is to introduce more physical education in school. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Whether adding more physical training in a school is a controversial issue today. I completely disagree that it can cope with the issue concerning the increasing overweight population.

First

of all, I believe that the amount of provided physical training time in educational institutions is sufficient in most

countries

, except for a few

countries

such

as South Korea. One of the main problems about

this

is related to the social environment that compels pupils to study immoderately.

For instance

, in the case of South Korea,

although

their physical education

class

is very insufficient compared with the most advanced

countries

, many high schools even force them to study in physical training classes as most people believe it is all to obtain good grades to enter high-level universities. We can find

this

tendency in a large number of

countries

.

Therefore

, to address

this

problem, we should focus on improving their social environment and educational system, not instituting more physical activities.

Secondly

, it is almost impossible to execute more physical exercises in public educational institutions in most

countries

. We have to consider the balance among classes and between school life and after-school life.

For example

, it can mean that a relatively minor

class

disappears or the amount of primary

class

time,

such

as literature, mathematics, and history, diminishes if the physical education

class

amount goes up to the point where most people can feel the positive effects.

Hence

, it is nearly impossible and can cause several side effects. Alternatively, it should be a more effective approach that public academies have to compulsorily provide enjoyable and active activities

such

as club activities. In conclusion, I strongly believe that rising physical education in school is not a practical means to deal with juvenile obesity.
