Abstract

Childhood obesity is one of the serious global problems which keeps on increasing with high rate. Physical activity plays an important role in handling the childhood obesity.

Physical activity has long been considered an integral component of weight management, but there are many practical problems teachers have to face when they work with children with obesity: lower coordination, fl exibility, but also willingness to be active and self-confi dence. However it is important to look for special ways to support and empower children with obesity during physical activity.
