I believe so. every guy i know that plays video games does it for hours and thenjust watches tv. lifting isnt enough… get some cardio in go for a walk at least.
More or less. If you’re spending time just sitting there you will eventually put on some weight. And if you’re eating something unhealthy gaming snacks along with your game play you are begging for a spare tire stomach.
there was just another study released about increase in obesity as kids increase “screen time”… All screens (think game boy, tv, computer, ps2..) are sedentary - therefore you are not doing something active…
yes it can greatly affect health and physical activity because you sit there doing nothing!! Sure hand eye co-ordination goes up and probably depending on what game mental stimulation too but in the end you’re just a blob on a couch staring at a TV screen all day doing nothing.
That’s why games such as eye toy and Wii Fit were created to try and merge the two together so you can play a game and still be active.
