玩Wii可修身減肥嗎?

要視乎你如何去玩，如果你玩wii而又肯走來走去的話當然可以，可是如果你只是拿著手製坐在同一位置，那麼減不了什麼...

據英國一項研究發現, 如果你慣性使用WII的話, 平均一年可減27旁. 因為當你使用手掣玩遊戲時, 你的心跳率會增加. 按一個打機迷每周平均玩電子遊戲12.2小時計算，用Wii打機，每周可燃燒1830卡路里.

一定可以減到肥，因我玩時只要遞起隻手5分鐘都已覺得累，玩得耐真的要消耗好多ENERGY的。

Back in January a Philadephia man called Mickey DeLorenzo claimed on his blog that he had lost nine pounds playing Wii Sports for 30 minutes a day for a month.

Now research undertaken at a UK university seems to back up the claim--Liverpool John Moores University has published findings that state that playing "active" games using the Wii controllers could lead to 27 pounds being lost in a year.

The study used a sample of five girls and seven boys between 13 and 15 years old and tracked the gamers through three key measures of energy expenditure, calories burned, and heart rate. It was found that during 15 minutes of play using a traditional controller, energy expenditure increased above resting values by 60 percent, and when using the Wii console, the figure rose to 156 percent.

Heart rate was also faster when using the Wii, reaching up to 130 beats per minute, compared to 85 with more-traditional games.

Professor Tim Cable, lead researcher on the report, commented, "Through our testing it is clear that the motion sensor controlled console can make an impact on a child's heart rate, energy expenditure and the amount of calories burned... Active consoles such as the Wii could provide a means of motivating children who are less active. However, parents should encourage other physical activities and outdoor pursuits in order for their children to lead well balanced lives."
