Too Much TV Time Bad For Muscular Fitness Levels

How much TV time is good for muscular fitness?

"Obesity isn't the only negative side effect of excessive television watching. A new study from the American College of Sports Medicine suggests that young adults who tune in to two hours or more of TV per day have poor muscular fitness.

Researchers Niko Paalanne and Tuija Tammelin of Finland studied more than 870 Finnish young men and women around 19 years of age. Subjects' muscular fitness was measured using trunk rotation, trunk flexion, press strength and jumping height. Those who watched the most television - at least two hours per day - performed significantly worse in the tests."

The researchers failed to address that.
