This document discusses strategies schools can implement to help reduce childhood obesity rates. It defines obesity as excess body fat and notes that around 170 million children worldwide are now overweight. The document recommends introducing healthy canteens that limit high-fat, sugary foods and instead promote healthy eating. It also suggests implementing water fountains to encourage hydration and maximize cognitive function. If schools adopt these prevention strategies to provide healthy food and water access, the rates of obesity among students could be reduced.

Abstract
Obesity among American Hispanic females between the ages of twenty and sixty-four years old is the new health inequality in the United States. Food, physical activity, and obesity are one of these twelve leading health indices categorized as important national health issues by Healthy People 2020. Obesity is classified as anyone who surpasses substance mass indicator (BMI ) of thirty. According to females' wellness, three at four American females are overweight or obese. History of woman in Sports For most human history, healthy rivalry has been considered as an entirely masculine thing. Females weren't allowed to see most sporting events. Let only act in them. Not till late nineteenth century did females start participating in sporting events. Although females were allowed to participate in some sports, relatively few showed benefit, for a variety of cultural and mental reasons that are even poorly understood.
Although the fast gains seen in fat since the 1970s seem to have leveled off, Fat and obesity continue to take severe issues in the United States. Increasing physical activity and improving food are keys to fat prevention and control, in addition to policies that alter the situation to make wholesome eating and healthy physical activity more comfortable, safer, and more pleasing are expected to take most effective.
· Campaigns relying mainly on knowledge distribution and training to alter attitudes and behaviors associated with food and physical activity are the great importance of government action to ensure obesity. One might believe that the American world is flooded with media pictures that encourage fitness and inform about the risks of obesity (ONYECHERE, 2014).
· The overall population knows that mediocre food, lack of physical activity and fat are causing many health issues. The CDC is undertaking The problematic public health issue starting with schools, which should offer The quality nutrition system and ensure only healthful foods and drinks are available to students. As part of obesity prevention, multiple organizations will assist people recognize their body mass index, keep a healthy weight and incorporate physical activity into their lives (Raimond, 2013).
· The objective within its endeavors to advance the building food surroundings, encourage student health, in addition to decrease early days obesity, this region can hold on to the ADE principle Governing food in addition to Physical Activity Standards as well as Body Mass Index for the Age Assessment Protocols.

Qualitative Research Critique and Ethical Considerations
Summary of the Study
The study seeks to evaluate the efficacy of school-based programs in treating and managing overweight and obesity among children. Childhood obesity is increasingly becoming both national and global public health concern that has resulted in increased childhood morbidity and mortality. In particular, childhood obesity has catapulted the increase in health problems such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, as well as osteoarthritis later in adulthood (Mahmood et al. 2014). Schools can provide one of the most effective channels through which childhood obesity interventions can be directed. In this respect, policies, procedures, and guidelines have been passed in many nations and states for the implementation of school-based interventions. In the United States, many studies have recommended the utilization of school-based obesity management programs to address the unending crisis of childhood obesity. In light of this concern, this study seeks to investigate the efficacy of school-based interventions in treating and managing childhood obesity. In particular, the study will also assess school methodologies such as incorporation of obesity education into the routine curriculum in minimizing the constantly-increasing cases of obese children population.
Method of Study
The study is also going to use qualitative design in order to examine the perception of children towards school-based obesity management initiatives. Previous studies conducted by Clarke et al. (2015) also sought to investigate the experiences and views of kids who went through school-based obesity management programs. This can help to improve knowledge and understanding of better ways to address the problem of childhood obesity within school settings. In order to provide a comprehensive finding that guides future clinical decision-making, the study will evaluate efficacy of school-based interventions with respect to many key areas. They include cost efficiency of school-based interventions, improvements in physical activities and healthy eating habits following interventions, as well as level of awareness among children on the dangers of childhood obesity and the ways in which it can be averted. Furthermore, effectiveness will be investigated through evaluation of body weight and BMI before and after the introductions of these interventions (Mahmood et al. 2014). Most significantly, cardiovascular fitness and other outcome measures will be investigated. The target population and participants of the study will mainly be school-going children. Both boys and girls with an average age of between 8 and 16 years will be incorporated into the study.
Schools vary in the ways in which they utilize such interventions. For instance, some schools utilize planet health programs that incorpo ...

Overview
The Massachusetts Childhood Obesity Research Demonstration Project, known as Mass In Motion, is a state-wide initiative to promote a healthy lifestyle in places where people work, live and play. The initiative was funded by in 2011 by a grant through the Affordable Care Act with a goal to create a multilevel and multisector intervention strategy to prevent and control obesity, combining interventions in the health care setting with public health interventions in the community. (Davison et al., 2015)The project was designed to be a comprehensive wellness initiative, incorporating evidence-based interventions in primary healthcare with community programs, WIC and other nutrition programs, as well as early childhood education centers and schools/afterschool programs. The goal was to form a partnership among the many different social and environmental factors that effect a child’s health and well-being, as well as to identify and target these factors to institute a change in health behaviors. (MA-CORD Study Group, 2015)
The program began as a part of a 2009 initiative started by Governor Deval Patrick which funded projects in 14 cities and towns across Massachusetts. In 2011 the state was awarded a grant through the CDC which allowed the program to be expanded to cover 52 Massachusetts cities and towns, impacting 33% of the state population, and as of 2014 there are 60 cities and towns with active Mass in Motion projects. While the main focus of the CORD component, funded by the CDC was on children 2-12 year sold, the Mass In Motion program has also developed programs for improving worksite health and overall community health. These programs have increased workplace productivity, lowered stress levels, encouraged weight loss, and improved green space across the state. (Mass in Motion, 2016)
Theoretical Approach
The framework of Mass in Motion is the social ecological model, a model which looks at the complex relationships between an individual, his/her personal relationships, community, institutional elements, community, and overall social policy. This framework is not designed to distinguish one factor as a reason or cause for the obesity, but rather looks at the interaction of these factors and how they can effect individual risk for obesity. The MA-CORD Study Group then developed interventions based on Social Cognitive Theory, recognizing and emphasizing the importance of social influence and reinforcement for behavior change.

As seen in Figure 1, the project is designed to combat childhood obesity by impacting the individual and environmental factors that can contribute to living a non-healthy lifestyle. At the individual level, children and parents are both given information and support to develop healthy habits while in the school .
