Not even that. I grew up with arcade type games like Missile Command or Asteroid, the kind that you actually have to leave the house and play standing up, that at least force some level of physical activities.
But people should take this research seriously. As someone who once taught self defense to women, I have yet to meet any gamer who beat me electronically senseless at Mortal Kombat to stand against me even for one minute in the ring where I will beat him physically senseless. Am not a 'health nut' but the best life is a life where one has little to worry about one's body, other than to heal an occasional sprained ankle or cracked rib from being active, than to suffer internal rot because of a sedentary lifestyle. Besides, chicks dig physically active guys -- in and out of bed -- and am not talking about moving mountains here.
Haha, I hear you.
As in everything else, I think that it's all about balance.
Video games can be dangerous for kids these days, I agree. There is a tendency to just ignore all physical activity and sit with a controller. On the other hand, there are all kinds of video games. Some can improve motor skill, tell stories and instill good values.
I play games for a few hours a day, work out, run, play sports.
As I said, it's all about balance.
