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 remain fit. Nowadays 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, instead of playing any sports. Therefore, this module can encourage people to participate in various physical activities, which can help them to lose weight.
However, there are further reasons for the 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 healthy alternative. If fattening products are made expensive, people might switch to nutritious food. Secondly, some people are genetically prone to be overweight. As a result, they can not control their weight but they can take some precautions to prevent weight increase. For instance, such people should balance their diet and perform regular exercise.
In conclusion, although making sports a compulsory module will somehow help to decrease obesity epidemic, while other factors should also be kept in mind. If all the factors are equally addressed, obesity rate will reduce.
