Socioeconomic Sports Facilities

This article talked abut the socioeconomic side sports facilities and could have a relation to obesity in children. The article discussed the issue of having the increase of obesity being because of the lack of development of sports facilities. However, the article looks at the rates of obesity in children, specifically in Madrid, and come to conclusion that the lack of sports facilities don't have a relation to the socioeconomic side of obesity. Obesity in the children of Madrid is more caused by the parents and lack of healthy physical activity. Children should be able to stay active even if there is no sports facility.
