In this study, Mr. Eisenmann and colleagues investigated the physical activity of more than 111 children aged 3 to 8 years within 1 week. Each child has a device that measures how much time they spend watching TV, playing games, drawing, sitting or participating in effortless activities. The results showed that, on average, children usually sit for 5 hours a day and spend about 1.5 hours on average watching TV or playing computer games.
Scientists also found that, regardless of body weight, the risk of blood pressure in children who spend more time in front of a TV or computer is higher than those who watch less TV or computer gaming (average 30 minutes / day).
To prevent child illness, Mr. Eisenmann stressed that parents and their children need to comply with the limit of watching TV for no more than 2 hours a day and need to combine 60 minutes of physical activity. .
