CURRENTLY
Schools will offer a range of sports that will vary depending upon the region and what team sports are popular, with the local population. Generally there are 3 types of student, those who will play team sports on a regular basis, so are normally healthy. Students that play sport on an occasional basis, so are of varying health conditions and lastly students who rarely or never play any sport and generally are very unhealthy. The reason for Sport participation levels is often, due to students being intimidated by other students who are performing better and making “The Team”, so they losing interest in trying to perform. Physical education in schools is becoming less popular year on year; which is mainly due to children becoming far more distracted, than previous generations. As smart phones, tablets, laptops and games consoles have grown in popularity, children have become less inclined to participate in sport. Government’s own research confirms the reduction in sport participation, thus resulting in unhealthier and less socially active children around the world. Sports lessons are often cancelled around the world for a variety of reasons, such as weather conditions and high or low temperatures. As pollution and global warming increases, sports lessons are even being cancelled due to poor air quality.
REQUIREMENT
It is important that a higher percentage of students participate in sport, ideally not only getting back to the 1992 average but significantly exceeding it for both boys and girls. This can be achieved by getting occasional sporting students, to play sport on a more regular basis, even if it is participating in different team sports, than the more gifted. As well as getting the rarely sporting students to be introduced into sport, without them being intimidated. Using children’s interest in computer gaming, as a way of encouraging them to wish to participate in sports. The Body Mass Index for children is a growing problem, affecting most countries in the world. By getting a much higher percentage of children into sport, BMI can be reduced as they become more physically active, so they are burning more calories. As they become more interested in Sport, they normally become more interested in their body weight and wish to eat healthier too. By increasing exercise combined with a better diet, health related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer are significantly reduced. Resulting in a healthier youth population, with less long-term illnesses and a direct financial saving for counties own health services.
