Parents are always open to more information about ways to boost physical activity levels in their children.
Television viewing, in this context, has always been viewed negatively, as a bad influence in encouraging couch potato behavior in kids.

A new study seeks to question this thought process while also adding that TV viewing can actually encourage kids’ activity levels, especially if they watched sport on television.
