Are you ever satisfied when you do something and don't get the results you want? I know, you're not and neither is anyone. Everyone wants improvements in the world and people are happy and satisfied when everything is going well. This concept can be applied to the world of physical education in today's society. Obesity has slowly become one of the most problematic diseases that exist in the United States and around the world today. The United States has been greatly affected by this disease and more and more people in today's society are overweight, unhealthy and out of shape. Everyone knows that this problem needs to be solved, but to solve a problem you need to find out where the problem comes from. Many people blame food companies, which sell unhealthy food to people; others accuse the media of promoting things like junk food or video games. Others blame physical education systems in schools. Many people believe that physical education doesn't do enough to help children and younger generations develop healthier habits. There is no doubt that society needs to move from being unhealthy and overweight to being physically active and healthy, but to do this we need to make many changes in society and make changes to physical education. Physical education exists in schools to help students perform physical activity in schools and promote healthy lifestyles. It is extremely important for physical education teachers to promote physical activity and healthy eating among young students because they are the ones who will be at risk of developing health problems such as obesity. Physical educators need to teach younger generations the proper way to stay healthy so they can continue to be physically active outside of physical activity...middle of paper...continue doing these activities to stay physically active . It is necessary to teach younger generations these activities rather than team sports, because as they get older volleyball, football and basketball are more difficult to fit into life than hiking or cycling, for example. There is no doubt that physical education programs across the nation need to be adapted or modified, and the implementation of Wilderness Sports and Adventure Education is an effective decision.
