Popular toys 'make children fat'
Unhealthy Christmas presents make children fat, a report on child obesity said today.
This Christmas's most popular toys do not encourage enough healthy play and exercise, compared to the favourite toys of the 1970s, a study by the North East Wales Institute of Higher Education (Newi) says.
Do you agree with the study's findings? Tell us in the reader comments below.
Children would be fitter if they played with cult toys such as Spacehoppers and Chopper bicycles, instead of computer games and dolls, it says.
In a survey of PE teachers, Newi's School of Health and Social Care found only 3 per cent blamed an increase in child obesity on diet alone. Three quarters (76 per cent) blamed a combination of no exercise and poor diet.
Eighty-five per cent of PE teachers said children were not as fit as they should be. Toys were said to have the biggest influence on children's fitness - followed by parents.
Professor Kate Sullivan said: "There is no doubt that children today are not as fit as they should be.
"We have seen an increase in children spending less time playing outdoors and more time in front of the TV, playing computer games or transfixed by the text messages on their mobile phones.
If you ask a child what they had for Christmas this year it won't be anything to do with physical exercise it is far more likely to be a DVD, iPod or Xbox."
She added: "At the School of Health and Social Care, we have carried out this research because we are worried that children and young people simply don't spend enough time outdoors running around, cycling, climbing trees or playing sports.
"At least 30 minutes a day of physical activity is recommended for younger children. I fear that our future generations will be computer and electronic whizz kids, but too overweight and lazy to move out of the confines of their hi-tech, globally-wired bedrooms."
