230 students marked "I sat this"Added 28 May 2020Question #120074

Choose the word for each blank.

EE (energy expenditure) and AVG (active video games). The sedentary video games cannot meet the 1 exercise intensities… Playing AVGs increases energy expenditure, but can’t be a 2 of exercise….

The study, of 322 overweight 10- to 14-year-olds, found that those whose usual, sedentary video games were partly replaced with active games 3 less weight over six months. For years, experts have worried that the growing amount of time children are spending in front of TVs and computers is helping to feed an epidemic of childhood obesity.
