Abstract
Introduction. According to M. Siegrist et al. (2011, p. 1), over the last twenty years, the amount of time children spend in front of television, computer and video games has increased and serious negative health effects such as violent behaviour, substance abuse (alcohol, smoking), decreased school performance, poor body image and obesity become more apparent. Television affects food consumption of children and displaces physical activity. Reducing media use has been shown to be an effective measure in preventing obesity and improving educational achievements. Moreover, increased physical activity has been demonstrated to combine health benefits with reduced substance abuse". According to A.P. Hills (2009), the epidemic of obesity is impacting an increasing proportion of children, adolescents and adults with a common feature being low levels of physical activity. According to E.A. Vandewater et al (2004), are at least there hypothesized mechanisms for the relationship between television and video game use and obesity. First, television viewing and/or video game use is thought to be related to increased weight in children because time spent with these media displaces physical activity. This "couch-potato" hypothesis is by far the most popular hypothesis regarding the connection between electronic media use and obesity in children, and it applies equally well to both television watching and video game use. Both activities are assumed to displace more active activities (e.g. playing outside) and facilitate sedentary lifestyles in children and adolescents. [...].
