SCREEN TIME STRIVING WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES FOR NEXT GENERATION PRIORITIES

Cristiana Pop ()

Marathon, 2015, vol. 7, issue 2, 220-224

Abstract: Screen activities include watching television, surfing on line or playing video games and are all of them associated with sedentary behaviour. A way to mediate the Y generation fascination for technology and the beneficial effects of physical activity are the exergames. The main critic against using these means in replacing traditional physical activities is that turns over more energy than sedentary gaming, but not as much as authentic sports. There is no doubt that children and young people will prefer the technology and its commodities, but they need to be encouraged to exercise, to control their posture and weight.
