Kinesiologists working in the health promotion industry focus on working with individuals to enhance the health, fitness, and well-being of the individual. Health is the center of Kinesiology. Kinesiologists focus on health society and quality of life. Thus obesity is a major concern in the Kinesiology discipline. Obesity worsens respiration quality, which can result in a critical condition for many people. Kinesiology aims to target the problems of an unhealthy lifestyle and improve them. Obesity is one of the leading causes of deaths in North America and is linked to respiration issues that through study within the Kinesiology discipline can be improved. Rehabilitation is a central scope of Kinesiology and the large obese population needs help immediately. Through rehabilitation obese people can restore their health and prolong their lives. These improvements are why Kinesiologists focus on obesity and effects of lung function
