Abstract

Currently, we live in the era of globalization, built on information technologies, where the so-called screen time has grown, indiscriminately, among children and adolescents, who increasingly become inmates and sedentary. This excessive time spent on virtual activities ends up adding harmful habits to health, considerably increasing the incidence of chronic diseases associated with the absence of physical activity, such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity. In view of the above, this study aimed to identify how school Physical Education can contribute to the control of childhood obesity in its students, in the construction of good habits for a healthy life. For this purpose, a bibliographic research was used, resulting from the analysis of relevant studies carried out on the topic under review, published in the last ten years, in magazines, periodicals and specialized websites. Upon completion of the study, it was found that, in view of the current reality, where most activities are performed virtually, the role of the professional in the area is of paramount importance to promote interest and awareness, in his students, regarding the development of the habit sports practice, as an indispensable factor for the maintenance of quality of life, through the continuous elaboration of methodological strategies and pedagogical practices relevant to the theme.
