<p><strong><span><span>The alarming rise in obesity is associated with many factors, an increase of non-nutritive sweeteners in many foods to reduce physical activity and nutritional knowledge.</span></span><br />
</strong></p>
<p><span><span>Those who to the lack of physical activity as the main reason for increasing obesity show will probably start by pointing to modern entertainment. </span><span>People prefer to stay on the couch for a movie or video game, rather they are going out to just enjoy getting out.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>However advances in video games, especially the advent of motion-detection devices have led to systems like the Nintendo Wii, allowing gamers to actively participate in their virtual adventures using their entire body instead of just their thumbs.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>But are these video game systems, a suitable substitute for actual exercise? </span><span>A study recently published in the Journal of Exercise Physiology has studied this question.</span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span><span>The study compared the efficacy of the following three scenarios:</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span><span>(Traditional) video game play</span></span></li>
<li><span><span>Boxing on the Nintendo Wii</span></span></li>
<li><span><span>treadmill walking with 4km/hour.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span><span>The participant group included both men and women with a mean age of 31.5 years. </span><span>Heart rate, oxygen uptake and ratings of perceived exertion were taken at rest and during exercise sessions. </span><span>Participants were also questioned what they thought of the activity. </span><span>After all the more fun you will find something of the faster you do it again! </span></span><br />
<span><span>The results showed that all activities &#8211; even playing traditional video games, an increase in heart rate and oxygen uptake caused. </span><span>However, in both categories, the Nintendo Wii boxing had the greatest increase. </span><span>The average heart rate for participants in the Wii boxing game was 121.2 beats per minute, with almost 30 beats per minute more than the next highest activity, treadmill walking. </span><span>In terms of oxygen uptake, which is linked to energy use, when boxing was 50% more oxygen than when walking on the treadmill.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>The participants noted that they had most boxing effort. </span><span>However, they evaluated the Wii as the best activity, with nearly 2 times as high score as walking on the treadmill.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>And while the Wii boxing simulation would not produce a good workout as actual boxing, it is unlikely that the average person would have to choose between the two. </span><span>The researchers considered this to note that the prevalence of sedentary video game play suggests that the substitution of a more interactive video game can be a very effective way to increase physical activity to be.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>The high taste ratings also suggest that the Wii games would be less intimidating than exercising in a gym environment, and therefore suitable for beginners.</span></span></p>

<p>Here is the first of maybe many Fifa 09 Online videos. I don&#8217;t know how many, but a few more online videos will be made. This is not my best work, but I think it turned out pretty good. There is a bit of everything: Skill moves, free kicks, passing, and shots =)</p>
<p>My internet connection is really bad, so it was a bit hard to make the video. since I lost the connection =/ Some of the opponents was maybe not the best, and I&#8217;ll work on it in my next Online videos. I&#8217;ll try to face some harder opponents =)</p>
<p>If I go for the win, I useally pass the ball a lot more. But this video was just about fun! It&#8217;s really funny dribbling your opponents. The final result doesn&#8217;t matter, if the match was fun, in my opinion =)</p>
<p>If you think I faced some bad opponents, or I played bad, or I should use a other team, then don&#8217;t come with some shitty comments. I&#8217;ll try to improve it in my next Online videos =)</p>

<p><span><span>Children spend an average of nearly two hours a day outdoors, more than half the time played on squares and sidewalks, sometimes called informal play. </span><span>In a real playground, formal play, less time is spent, but children do more exercise. </span><span>The Dutch research organization TNO in ten districts studied how the physical activity of children of primary school age is related to the layout of the neighborhood. </span><span>Using GPS and accelerometers in 100 children was also evident at the locations they move. </span><span>In areas where in 2008 fewer intersections, and where fewer speeding cars / motorcycles driving around than in 2004, more children were playing outside. </span><span>The distance to services for children is important. </span><span>At a distance of 350 meters between home and school walked or biked all children to school. </span><span>speed reduction measures such as introduction of one way streets, speed bumps and car-free zones around schools, the safety and accessibility of public spaces for youth increase. </span><span>RIP advises city planners and municipal officials in order to (re) organization of neighborhoods especially more attention to: </span><span>• Reducing the speed of cars in urban areas. </span><span>• Providing good and safe walking and bicycle connections to schools and sports and play areas. </span></span></p>
