The issue I have with this study is the lack of media awareness of the publisher had led to "bad press" for exergaming, when the actual problems of the study was ignored. The exergaming industry is in the trenches, making it happen for the children of today. We make a difference, make a positive effect on the nations health through our experience and dedication.<br /><br />This story's reports undermine the work we have done so far and affects to deliver the benefits of exeragming going forwards.<br /><br />I call upon the research sector to work together to redress this mis-representation. After all, how many 9-12 year olds make a buying decision without parental support and guidance into the exciting world of exergaming? We could have helped make this study a keynote instead of a thorn in the side of the industry. The flaw was obvious to me - the effect is unintentional from the research communities point of view but the effect is real.gamercize @https://www.blogger.com/profile/11058444783337124365noreply@blogger.com
