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

Obesity is one of the major threats to individuals’ lives. It is believed that it can be avoided with an incline in the physical education programs at schools

while

others oppose the idea. I tend to agree because sport can benefit young people’s wellbeing and encourage them to keep it as a habit for so long. First of all, bounding exercises with scores at

school

can have a devastating influence on

students

’ outlook toward it. It is true that physical activities are crucial for every human being and it should not be counted as a

school

subject to simply pass. Adding more

of sport to the

school

curriculum as a compulsory course would leave

On the contrary

at a critical age and they go through physical and mental development during

For

exercising can perfectly elicit the importance of sport for children and cultivate the idea of exercising for the rest of their lives.

Additionally

, exercising can act as a significant environmental factor in children’s height and bone density that can affect their
