GotGame: Like several activities (darts, bowling, chess, shooting, fishing, competitive eating), gaming is in something of a gray area. It certainly requires strategy, physical coordination, competition, and mental focus. While hand eye coordination comes into play, physical coordination is iffy. Gaming uses a relatively small amount of muscle groups, even compared to iffy sports such as bowling. Gaming does not involve cardiovascular endurance, nor does it require muscle strength. It does require some level of physical exertion, but so does anything we do.
