Editorial re: Could sport be part ….. by Ring-Dimitriou et al.

摘要

Childhood obesity has become a concern in most economi- cally developing countries. The reasons for this seem clear: too much food and not enough movement. This dilemma has received much scientific attention, and the question arises: How do we get children to move and make good eating choices? In their opinion piece in this issue of the Journal of Sport and Health Science (JSHS), Ring-Dimitriou et al.' make an argu- ment that playing structured and supervised traditional sports will help children with obesity, where traditional sports include football, handball, gymnastics, athletics, and martial arts.
