The development of climbing in school physical education classes

Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases, are responsible for more than 70% of all deaths worldwide, equivalent to 41 million deaths, 15 million people die prematurely, aged between 30 and 69 years, with more than 85% of these early deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries. The increase in the occurrence of these diseases has been driven by risk factors such as physical inactivity, unhealthy diets, air pollution, among others, however, these factors also exacerbate mental health problems, which can originate at an early age. Half of all mental disorders start by the age of 14, but most cases go undetected and untreated. Suicide, for example, is the second leading cause of death among adolescents aged 15 to 19. Through school Physical Education classes we can reverse this situation, diversifying the contents, presenting modalities such as climbing. A manifestation of body culture that has been gaining space in Brazilian society, enabling new motor and social experiences. This work is intended for Education and Health professionals.
