Governments around the developed world are looking at ways of dealing with childhood obesity. It is often blamed that computer games is one of the culprits, as children are not exercising much and spend lot of time before the computer.

Nintendo wii is considered as a mile stone, in breaking the physical inactivity caused by other computer games, Instead of slumping on a couch and moving just the fingers, it encourages the children to physically to play out the actions, thanks to the build in motion sensors, which allows the player to actively control the characters and actions on screen. In addition wii remote is shaped like a wand and no wonder the children are crazy about this console. There is no doubt; this unique concept would be closely watched by others, which would inevitably lead to a healthy competition in computer games. Time is not for away for the market to be flooded with computer games that would claim to reduce particular amount of calories if that game is played for a particular amount of time.

Critics say that Nintendo wii could cause physical injures. Wii syndrome is a term coined for such injuries and there are web sites which deal with such Wii syndrome. The main cause for injuries is due to over enthusiasm and aggressive involvement in the game. Nintendo says that its product is safe and fun to play. Wii passed all safety tests and it is safe to use it according to the guidelines specified by them. The Wii remote responds to minor movements and it is the player to be blamed if he/she does rigorous movements and injures himself.

If you carefully analyze the injuries that have bee reported so far, injuries to children are very minimal. Most of the injuries are reported in parents and adults who are playing along with their children or due to carelessness of the gamer. It is not a secret that as we grow old our body is not used to repetitive and unaccustomed work and most of us know we need to warm up before doing any kind of repetitive or prolonged physical activities. One thing is clear; it is our age to be blamed not the technology. On the other side this news is encouraging as most of the parents have started playing the games with children. This will help improving the bond between them and children thereby improving the family values. The games are so interesting that they encourage the adults who normally have a sedentary life style to involve and get some physical activity. Well this unique technology might be a weapon to tackle obesity in our society.

Most of the injuries reported are avoidable. By following the instructions carefully and doing warm up exercises and giving rest at regular intervals, it is possible to enjoy this exciting new concept without injuring ourselves.
