INTRODUCTION
A new generation of video game consoles enables video gamers to employ active body movements as interaction mode (Graves, Ridgers & Stratton, 2008).
Converting seat-based screen time to activity-associated screen time is an essential approach for promotingan active environment ( Lampert, Sygusch & Schlack, 2007).
INTRODUCTION
It is suggested that computer play, such as virtual reality, could be used in rehabilitation for children with disabilities (Jannink, Van Der Wilden, et al, 2008).
Traditional athletic related injuries can occur in a virtual games environment in a potentially more sedentary population (Robinson, Barron, Grainger, et al, 2008).

BENEFITS OF VIDEO GAME CONSOLES
Activity-promoting video games are used as a potential approach for reversing sedentariness.
Activity-based video games can be used on rehabilitation. Energy expenditure in active screen time is greater than in
sedentary screen time
DISADVANTAGES OF VIDEO GAME CONSOLES
The use of video games can cause injuries (i.g.: Wii knee, Nintendonitis)
Traditional playtime can be converted into seat-based screen time
AIM
With this work, we intend to search scientific evidences about the impact of video games and computer games on physical well being.
METHODS
Search on Medline database using the following terms: (Video games OR video game OR eye toy OR eyetoy OR game console OR game consoles OR digital game OR digital games OR virtual reality system OR gaming platform OR console game OR console games OR Wii OR Playstation OR x-box OR computer game) AND ((physical activity OR physical effort OR physical performance OR physical health OR cardiovascular health OR musculoskeletal health OR fitness) OR (Rehabilitation OR physical therapy OR motor rehabilitation) OR (Obesity OR overweight OR injuries OR injury OR wii knee OR acute wiiitis OR nintendonitis OR playstation thumb OR wii shoulder))
METHODS Analysis and selection of relevant articles, by applying inclusion
and exclusion criteria. After article selection, each article will be analysed according to
the defined variables by two revisors.
Articles published since 1990 in Pubmed Articles published in English, Portuguese,
Spanish or French Articles referring to the impact of the use of video
games on physical health Original articles
Inclusion criteria
Editorials Articles referring to the psychological impact of
video games Articles referring uniquely to surgical correction of
physical problems related to the use of video games

Variables of the Study
LIMITATIONS AND DIFFICULTIES
Reduced bibliography about the theme.
Almost all studies about the relation of the theme with obesity are short-term weight loss studies.
EXPECTED RESULTS We expect to see evidencies:
Activity-promoting video games and computer games help on rehabilitation in specific diseases;
Sedentary screen time can be converted into active screen time and may help on reducing obesity;
Activity-promoting video and computer games have the potential to increase energy expenditure to a degree similar to that of traditional physical activity;
Excessive use of consoles can lead to the development of physical complications and injuries (i.g.: wii-knee)
