Abstract

The world we live in has undergone rapid change in many ways. Rural areas in many parts of the globe have transformed into major cities filled with industrial parks. This has led to a mass migration of people from the countryside to urban centres, resulting in high population density in many cities. The problem of urbanization and its related issues is common across many countries of the world. Today, the fast-paced lifestyle in many parts of the world is causing numerous health problems. In many developing nations, economic challenges force people to work long hours, leaving them with little or no time for exercise to stay healthy and fit. A country cannot become a great nation by focusing solely on infrastructure and economic development while neglecting the creation of a strong, healthy, and vibrant society free from disease. In placing too much emphasis on intellectual development—especially on academic intelligence—schools and parents sometimes overlook the importance of physical development and exercise. To prevent chronic illnesses and promote better health, governments and schools in developing countries must create awareness at all levels of society. The best starting point for promoting the importance of exercise and healthy living is the school and its educational system.
