摘要：

This study examined the correlations between media use, body mass variables. and physical activity among 116 male undergraduates (white n = 106, African American n = 5, Latin American n = 1. Asian American n = 2, and 2 others) Length of video game play during one sitting was positively related to body mass index (BMI. r = 27. p < 01) and negatively correlated with frequency of exercise (r = -.21, p < .05) and days of walking (r = -22. p < .05). Frequency of video game play was negatively correlated with length of exercising (r = -21. p < 05) Years of video game play was negatively correlated with length of exercise (r = -21. p < .05). These results were stronger among those who play online games. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that video game use predicted BMI. accounting for 6 9% of the variance The implications of the results are discussed Published by Elsevier Ltd.
