Introduction

** Introduction **  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are 42 million kids who are obese under the age of 5 (WHO, 2010). To combat this epidemic, the (WHO) has implemented a strategy to promote Physical activity and healthy lifestyle for all. The World Health Organization defines “Overweight and Obesity as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health” (WHO, 2011). In the 1960s, the obesity epidemic started, but for the past 20 years obesity rates in America are very high; children from the age of 6-11 about 16 percent of them are overweight and 31.2 percent are at risk of becoming overweight. In the “No Child Left Behind” act, physical activity is one of the programs that promoted health for all Americans in order to prevent obesity among children. Many institutions incorporate physical activity already to prevent child obesity; however, if all aspects of American society contribute to reducing child obesity, we can stop the problem.
