Abstract
The K-12 education system is a means that may help offset the rise in obesity and the related metabolic syndrome diseases. Within a classroom setting, teachers have the opportunity to initiate and facilitate life-long healthy lifestyle habits in students. To meet this objective, teachers must ensure student acquisition of content knowledge and promote healthy lifestyle attitudes. This study surveyed: pre-service teachers’ perception of health; pre-service teachers’ behaviors towards healthy lifestyle habits; and, pre-service teachers’ perception of their participation in healthy lifestyle habits.
