Member's of x360a: Survey Says!

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, it's been quite a while since I've posted. I've been hunkered down with Physical Therapy and trying to catch up on class work. For my "End of the Semester" project for my Statistics Course, I'm doing a research study and I need your help!

 

The topic in question is: Do Video gamer's get enough exercise?

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, this has been a huge topic of debate in the media and all that jazz, but the point of my study is to refute or prove a statistical research study that I found through a national database.

 

This survey is COMPLETELY voluntary (but I would REALLY appreciate as much input as I can get) and no information (i.e, Name, Age, Alien Sex Preference etc.) will be collected or asked. Everything is completely confidential. I will be using Statistical Software called "StatCrunch" to assign everyone random numbers so that this study will be completely random when I calculate for my hypothesis equations.

 

So, here are the two questions:

 

How many hours a week do you spend playing Video Games?

How many hours a week do you exercise?

 

For the exercise question, please think about ALL forms of exercise you partake in, whether it's bike riding, power-walking, etc. Please try and accurately predict on a weekly basis about how much you exercise. Also, please round to the nearest whole number. No decimals! :uzi:

 

In your reply posts, please list the question and your answer after it as such:

 

Example

How many hours a week do you spend playing Video Games? 24

How many hours a week do you exercise? 15

 

Also, please only respond with your answers ONCE (meaning, don't post two different sets of numerical data!)!

 

So, do you think video gamer's exercise enough? Let the discussion and number crunching begin! :woop:

That's perfectly fine, it's still within the parameter for the "week" so whether you did all of your exercising/game playing in one day is perfectly fine. It's an averaged out number.

 

 

Hours a week of gaming: 20-30+

 

Hours a week of exercise: 0

 

Do I care? No. My metabolism takes care of me. :D

 

I do get some good exercise during football season for marching band, though.

 

I need a more specific number than (20-30), on average about how many hours do you think you play a week?

How many hours I play a week can vary a tremendous amount depending on how busy I am, I've gone for weeks at a time without gaming. For the sake of giving you a number though here's the hours I was told I played last week by a certain gaming site, which has got to be one of my most active gaming weeks in quite some time. The hours I'm giving for exercise is typical for 90%+ of the year.

 

How many hours a week do you spend playing Video Games? 58

How many hours a week do you exercise? 0

 

EDIT: And just to put it out there, somehow I'm not overweight. Approximately 5'5" and 130lbs.

Problem is I live on a monthly basis instead of weekly, meaning my weeks vary.

If you're not sure, just give me an IDEA of how many hours you play Video Games. I need a single, solid number. I understand that for a lot of people it vary's on a weekly/monthly basis, so just go by last week or the week before and give me an average that you think is accurate. I can't conduct a hypothesis equation if I don't have an exact number!

How many hours a week do you spend playing Video Games? 8 (pretty much exclusive to the weekend)

 

How many hours a week do you exercise? 14

 

lift lift lift lift liftin' weights oh yeah

 

The more I continue to lift, the less I want to play games. My radar is pretty much blank until the fall. But I suppose it's the fall, all the AAA titles are out then.

 

Ah well. FC3: Blood Dragon tomorrow! Ow! Hatcha!

 

Hardcore style, motherfuckas!

5'7" and around 150 pounds. Could do for more exercise but video games isn't stopping me. 10 hours a day revolve around school work and I have no energy.

Haha, this! Us lucky young people, eh?

 

I don't exercise much at all, but I am fairly active at times, such as doing yard work and other physical activities, but I won't count that.

 

How many hours a week do you spend playing Video Games? 20-ish (I don't really keep track and it varies HEAVILY, for instance, I barely played anything last week, under 4-5 hours total)

 

How many hours a week do you exercise? 0-1

My schedule is forever changing so this is an average at best.

 

OP i'm curious if you are taking other factors into account? Just my opinion but it's extremelly difficult to come up with a solid argument based on 2 factors alone, for instance, if I didn't spend 50 hours a week working I would probably increase my gaming time, yet my exercise time would remain fairly constant.

How many hours a week do you spend playing Video Games? 50 hours (I play video games while multitasking while I am at work all day and a bit at home) Work 35-45 hours depending on the week but barely play at home.

Excercise? 0 I just take a variety of vitamins and only eat one meal a day. Most walking I do is while I'm out shopping. I also consume a lot of spirits.

 

5 10 150-55 lbs depending on the day

I probably play around 15 hours or so in an average week. Maybe up to 20 if a new game's out that I like.

 

I don't really exercise at all.

 

Not to discount the validity of your project or anything, but if the suggestion is that if I wasn't gaming during those 15 hours I might be exercising instead; then I can assure you I wouldn't be.
