diabetes cases, and one-third of cancers can be
avoided by increases physical activity, healthier
diet and stopping smoking.

3. In physical fitness, body composition is used to
describe the percentages of fat, bone and muscle
in human bodies.

commonly used to classify overweight and obesity in adults. It is
calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the
height in meters (kg/m2).

1. Cardiovascular Fitness is the ability of the heart, lungs and vascular
system to deliver oxygen-rich blood..
2. Muscular Strength is the amount force a muscle or group of muscles
can exert against a heavy resistance.
3. Muscular Endurance is the ability of a muscle or muscle group to

7. To make better standard of living people in Abroad both Husband

preservatives/ frozen foods.

10. A new study conducted by a sports management agency has revealed
that obesity is on the rise among children in India with many of them
suffering from the problem even before they reach adolescence.
Bangalore based EduSports surveyed nearly 4,000 school students aged
between 5 to 14 years in 15 cities and found that nearly a quarter of
them had a high Body Mass Index (BMI).
Nearly half of the students surveyed did not possess ideal BMI ratios
while 19 percent showed lower than ideal BMI.
Stating that today’s children find very less time to indulge in physical
activities, lead researcher Reshma Nayak said “Due to the constantly
changing lifestyle, children have become more passive. The space
constraints that exist in the cities today has left children with no
opportunity to play enough and this has reduced their immunity
towards many health hazards.”

11. This is not the only survey that reveals the increase in this
serious health problem. Another one conducted by The All
India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi,
among children in the age group of 14 and 18 found 17
percent of children to be obese or overweight. A similar
study by Delhi's Fortis Hospital found that 28 percent of
school kids in the city are obese, whereas a research in
urban areas of southern India revealed 21 percent boys and
18 percent of girls between 13 and 18 years, to be obese.
The studies have also shown how parents in India are
unaware that their children are overweight or obese.

Times of India
COIMBATORE: In the backdrop of today's fast food culture, it is hardly
surprising that one in ten children in Coimbatore, between six and 12
years is obese. What is alarming is that an equal number of children
in semi-rural areas are overweight and one in every twenty five
children is obese.
Pediatricians say childhood obesity is signaling a distressingly new
health trend. Of 10,229 children, aged between six to twelve years,
treated as outpatients at a private hospital in Coimbatore in 2010, as
many as 1,118 were obese. It is a disturbing fact that 10% of children
in the city are obese. "Ten years ago, this was less than five per cent"
says Dr C Srinivasan, chief pediatrician at the KG Hospitals.

creativity, rather than a rigorous, structured fitness regime to
further develop her motor skills, improving balance and
coordination. Many gyms have T-ball classes, teaching the
basics beginning at around age 4. According to the website T-
