Tue Sep 24, 7:53 AM ET
MANAMA (Reuters) - Nearly half of Bahrain's sports teachers are overweight, making them poor models of healthy living for their students, according to a study cited in the Al-Ayam newspaper on Monday.
The report quoted a study of 243 teachers that found more than 35 percent of physical education instructors were overweight, while nearly nine percent were obese.
"Teachers of sports are a model to their students, so it is important to discuss their health and convince students about the importance of losing weight," Shaikha al-Jeeb, the researcher who compiled the report, was quoted as saying.
