new study says "Computer gamers 'have reactions of pilots but bodies of chain smokers'"

Well, it's perfectly understandable, as both pilots and computer gamers spend large portions of their time sitting in a room pressing several different buttons.
I can see how that works....Out of all my gaming friends I know of only one other (besides me) that works out regularly.
They seem content with just sitting there....getting fat and lazy.
And we're all nearing the age that it's starting to show......sad really.

Oh noes! I have to go and play some football, right now!
I actually am fairly active, since I have to walk everywhere and often play sport with friends anyway. I also think that, as gaming communities go, this one is a fairly active one.

The thing with freerunning is it's basic simplicity. It's all about reaching destination A to B with as little trouble as possible.ottenni said:
Technically, anyone can train it solo-wise. But honestly, It's very hard sometimes when you don't know what to train with/at.
All you need is to build up your body and find out certain techniques to use when you reach some challenging points.
It all can be taught out by a local experienced freerunner, or by a youtube video, although it is possible to do it alone. Just it becomes kind of hard.
Those advanced things, however, that you see on youtube...
Those people had to train and teach themselves until they became that good.
They also needed free minds, so they'd dare some suicidal stunts.
Of course everything becomes more easy when there is an active, local freerunning group.
I understand completely if it feels "out of reach".
Hmmm...
Well, while I may lack the muscles of a professional athlete, and while I may have the body of a 60 year old chain-smoker, my thumbs are lethal weapons!

Most pro gamers are fitTheSlee said:I'm lucky, I game a lot, but I also run and swim a lot so I get the best of both worlds
but I can see how a lot of gamers don't exercise at all (especially professionals) which is worrying. Things like this are what spur me on to exercise as well as game.
Well I was almost a fighter pilot, but I'm not sure that video games had anything to do with it. Or did they...? Either way, as a non-professional gamer I'm fairly certain that I get a decent amount of exercise so as not to be classified as a 60 year old smoker.
Did this guy do any tests on us regular folk? Like take three groups(no/some/plenty of exercise) and test them all on their perceived skill levels and actual physical health? I think that this study would be more relevant to me if the study had been on average gamers. I'm not saying that it isn't relevant, it just isn't as much to me.
