VerBruggen appears to be another of the Ivy League Cliff notes idiots that does zero research before writing and publishing.

Video game systems that require moving around and waving your arms are going to result in less juvenile obesity than the current systems, not more. Ole’ Robert doesn’t get that connection between more exercise and better health, evidently.

Doctors use Wii games for rehab therapy

"You can certainly make a case that some form of endurance related to strength and flexibility and balance and cardio would be challenged when you play the Wii," but hard scientific proof is needed to prove it, Oddsson said.

Bonis calls it acute "Wiiitis" - a condition he says he developed last year after spending several hours playing the Wii tennis game.

P.S. I entered Wii rehabilitation medicine neverdem into Yahoo's engine to find my old thread.
