 Extracurricular Activities

 Statistics of Obesity
• Statistics show that 26 per cent of young
Canadians age two to 17 are overweight or
obese. The situation on native reservations is
even worse with about 50 per cent of young
people in this category. It is more than enough
to be of concern.

Protection Act prohibited advertisements of
fast food, directed at children under the age of
13. this was done to reduce child obesity and
effected the children even when they grew to
avoid fast food.

 Effects of Child Obesity
• Obese children become targets of early and
systematic discrimination. Obesity can lead to
shyness, depression, lack of exercise and it can

 Obesity Effects in Sport
• There will be a decrease in performance due
to extra weight that the child has to carry
while training and loss of oxygen if he doesn’t
exercise regularly. Obese children can be left
out due to lack of performance in the sport.

 My Opinion On Child Obesity
• My opinion is that obesity in childhood can
have a big disadvantage because the child can
go through health sickness and he will have
less chance of experiencing and enjoying
sports because of the extra weight.
