It’s horrible…the second I read this story, the first thing I thought of was “traitor!” Of course, that’s now really how I feel. I’m just surprised to see an 11-year-old leading this study.
5th Grader Deniz Ince was interested to find out of there was some sort of connection between the joint pain he felt and the time he spent playing video games. The results of a study including a group of children have shown that video games can intensify joint pain, sometimes so much so that children will avoid playing games in order to stay away from the pain. What’s causing all these joint problems? The study doesn’t actually say.
I’m thinking that kids are getting way to into the game, and are gripping controllers too hard. If you hold anything tightly for a long period of time, you’re bound to cause yourself some aches and pain in your joints. Hopefully a more sophisticated panel of people will put these findings to test in another, more scientific study.
