This paper will focus on physical education and childhood obesity and consider the role that the subject and profession can potentially and sensibly play in addressing the issue. Firstly, and to inform the discussion, some of the key facts, issues and considerations concerning childhood obesity will be explored. Some of the formal guidance and recommendations that are available on the issue will then be summarised, before concluding with some practical and specific recommendations for physical education practice.
