DOES TEACHING PHYSICAL EDUCATION CONTRIBUTE TO ADOPTING A HELATHY LIFESTYLE?

One of the biggest health issues today is the overweight in children, young people and adults. The school is recognized as one of the causes of hypokinesis, but also as one of the factors that may affect the promotion of a healthy lifestyle. Of all school subjects teaching Physical Education is the best place where you can influence the solution of this problem. The involvement of students in the physical education class is between 8 - 20 minutes, so the question is whether such a small efficiency can form positive attitudes towards physical exercise necessary for a healthy life style? For this to really happen we need to improve teaching physical education by modernizing curricula, increasing the number of classes, having better public control of the teaching process and improving the quality of physical education classes.
