The role of sport in education is an important issue in several respects. We can cite, for example, the obesity which is rising across Europe, particularly among young people. This is an alarming fact and a major public health concern, the effects of which will be felt throughout the life of these people. We cannot forget in particular that these people will have health problems throughout their life which will have considerable social and economic effects on the organisation and future of our societies.
Another important fact is the evidence that the time allocated to physical education across the EU has been gradually eroded. It is therefore obvious that the increase in physical inactivity has also led to the most alarming of figures which is that, across the entire EU27, overweight affects almost one in four children.
I voted in favour of this report which aims to help ensure that positive measures are taken to encourage health in the new generations."@en1
