ARE ACTIVE VIDEO GAMES EFFECTIVE AT GETTING KIDS MORE ACTIVE?GOOD QUESTION!If you ask us…nothing can replace the fresh air, sunshine and rosy cheeks of an afternoon playing outdoors with friends and family.

BUT, WHAT DO THE EXPERTS SAY?Active Healthy Kids Canada (AHKC) provides solid evidence and a uniquely Canadian perspective on child and youth physical activity. Individuals and organizations of all kinds have come to rely on Active Healthy Kids Canada as the “go-to” source for knowledge, insight and understanding.

Active Healthy Kids Canada does not recommend active video games as a strategy to help kids be more physically active.

• Playing active video games doesn’t lead to increased overall daily physical activity levels.

• Active video games may get heart rates up, but they’re not significantly helping kids get to the 60 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity required each day.

• Kids find active video games appealing, but the appeal wears off over time and many don’t stick with them.

• Active video games don’t offer the fresh air, vitamin D, connection with nature and social interactions that come with outdoor active play.
